All auctions / Ancient Art / Viking Era Silver Axe-shaped amulet with solar symbols
A Viking Age silver axe-shaped amulet featuring solar symbols. The condition is simply magnificent. A stylized silver axe-shaped pendant adorned with traditional solar symbols. This powerful Viking Age symbol combines the aesthetics of Northern martial artistry with the sacred symbolism of ancient Germanic tribes. The pendant’s shape mirrors the silhouette of a legendary Scandinavian axe—a formidable weapon that also served as a mark of high status for the free warrior. The center of the piece is adorned with an engraved solar sign (a symbol of the sun and the eternal movement of life); in the beliefs of Northern peoples, this served as a powerful talisman, protecting the wearer from dark forces, bringing good fortune on a journey, and bestowing inner energy. Crafted from silver with a rich patina that accentuates the depth and historical character of the carving. Features the precise geometry of the axe blade and neatly incised solar symbols on both sides. Can be worn as a pendant.The silver is durable and bright! Excellent condition, intact. Signs of wear consistent with age and use. 100% original. The metal strong. Look at many photos for your own impression. The pendant will be delivered with a leather jewelry cord. Weight - 1.89 grams. Material: Silver Dimensions: 21 x 19 mm. The object was purchased in 2015 in Barcelona, Spain, from G.A. as part of a private Spanish collection dating back to the 1980s
