Terslev Viking amulet brass colored, Haithabu, small
Buried at the end of the 10th century on the Danish island of Zealand, the Terslev treasure contains 6.6 kg of silver coins, including 1751 coins, mostly of Arab origin. In addition, the find includes necklaces, pendants and bracelets. Probably originating from Persia, among other things, it contains an embossed bowl, a silver drinking service and bracelets and costume jewelry. In 1911, when some boys were digging up a garden in Terslev, they came across this silver treasure buried under several meters of earth. This find is now on display at the Danish National Museum in Copenhagen.
This Terslev style Viking jewelry is inspired after a late Viking Age find in Haithabu. This style is known for its filigree granulation technique. It originated from the second half of the 10th century in Carolingian-Ottoman models throughout the Baltic region. Amulets in the Terslv style were common on the island of Hiddensee and in Haithabu, among other places.
In contrast to the granulated originals, on which small beads and fine wires were soldered in filigree detail work, our replica of the Terslev Viking amulet is cast in one piece.
