Viking dragon motif pendant in Urnes style
This impressive bronze pendant, decorated with a dragon in the venerable Urnes style, is truly a masterpiece of Norse art from the time of the Vikings.
The dragon, which appears in elaborate coils, is a symbol of power and wisdom, as was the case in ancient Norse mythology. Whether you think of the mighty Midgard serpent Jörmungandr, the sinister Nidhöggr or the golden dragon Fáfnir, all these legendary creatures found their place in the art of the North. So too did this magnificent dragon, whose image was borrowed from the 11th century and completed in the Urnes style.
The Urnes style, which prevailed in the last days of the Viking Age, is famous for its intricate, intertwined depictions of animals that look like a living fabric of lines and shapes. The dragon pendant bears this artistic heritage and impresses with its imposing size and the attention to detail of the engravings that frame the mystical creature. The antique surface with its bronze embossed look enhances the historical flair and gives the pendant an authentic period look.
This pendant is not only suitable as a precious gift, but also as a powerful talisman or protective amulet. The dragon figurine symbolizes strength, bravery and protection and is a true companion for those who feel connected to the harsh times of the Vikings. Its size of around 6.3 cm (2.48 inches) in diameter (without the eyelet) and weight of approx. 40 g (1.41 oz) make it an eye-catching piece that is sure to attract attention.
