Description

C. 900-1100 AD. Viking Period. This beautiful bronze torc has a twisted design, with a thin, elongated serpent’s head terminal at one end. This piece is made even more stunning by its beautiful patina. Torcs are found in many European cultures c. the 8th century BC to the 3rd century AD. However, these elaborate items of jewellery made a reappearance during the Viking period c. 900-1100 AD perhaps due to their twisting nature which recalls Loki’s snake/dragon son Jormungand who lives in the ocean that surrounds Midgard. Torcs such as this one would also have served as important symbols of rank and wealth. Superb condition; wearable.Size: L:210mm / W:208mm ; 210g; Provenance: Property of a North London gentleman; previously acquire on the UK/European art market in the 1990s.
