Description

Ca. 1000 AD. Viking era. An early Scandinavian gold pendant comprising a disk with an elaborate corded border and bearing a filigree cross design arranged around a central rondel. The disk hangs from a rounded suspension loop and has been professionally restrung. The Cross, the principal symbol of Christianity, recalls the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the redeeming benefits of his Passion and death. The cross is thus a sign both of Christ himself and of the faith of Christians. The era known as the Viking age lasted for more than 300 years, from the late 8th century to the late 11th century. The history of the Vikings is closely linked to their role as masters of the sea. They were feared as fierce and ruthless raiders, but later converted to Christianity, as this gorgeous item testifies. In order to confirm its authenticity, this piece has undergone X-Ray Fluorescence analysis by an independent Belgian Laboratory. The samples collected show the chemical composition to reflect the typical metal contents of the described period, whilst also showing no modern trace elements in the patina. Excellent condition; wearable. Size: L:40mm / W:32mm ; 6.8g; Provenance: Property of a professional Ancient art and jewelry expert; previously with a London gallery; initially from a private British collection formed before 2000.
