Bracelet with wolf heads, adjustable, bronze

Product description

Rings and bracelets played a prominent role in the early Middle Ages: they were considered a sign of wealth and even served as a form of currency. They also had an important function when taking sacred oaths to the gods. In Germanic mythology, the gift of rings was also a central way to confirm the bond between rulers and their followers — a tradition that continued, in varying forms, even after Christianization.

This hand-engraved bracelet with wolf heads from the Viking age is adjustable and made in bronze, with a total length of approx. 45 cm.
