Crescent Moon - Ancient Viking 8th -11th Century Bronze Pendant.
This superb Viking pendant is crafted from bronze, featuring lovely decoration and detail. The shape of this pendant is absolutely fantastic, a gorgeous crescent moon leading to a cross. The moon has scroll type decoration and the cross has lovely decorative raised detail, whilst the back is plain with beautiful patina throughout. I have matched this amazing piece with a contemporary bronze bail and a contemporary bronze chain with a secure lobster claw clasp. Truly, this is a very special piece historically and artistically, it would make a wonderful gift or addition to any collection.
