Ca. 900-1100 AD.A silver bracelet composed of a round-section shank with its tapering ends twisted together. The bracelet comes together with suspended amulets: three small rings with coiled design, an axe-shaped pendant, a pin with a coiled suspension loop, and Thor's hammer amulet with a vertical shaft, a horizontal head in the shape of a wide-angled chevron and decorated with a series of stamped motifs of three raised dots enclosed in a triangle. In Norse mythology, Thor's hammer (Mjolnir) is the greatest of all the gods' treasures as it represents Thor's role as a protector of both humans and the gods from the ever-present threat of the giants. When worn as a pendant or adorning jewellery this symbol represents Thor's sacred function as a protective deity and served an amuletic function. Excellent condition. Size: L:100mm / W:10mm ; 60gProvenance: Private UK collection; From an old British collection formed in the 1990s.
