Viking amulet bronze, Haithabu in Terslev style, large
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 exhibited in the Danish National Museum in Copenhagen.
The amulet from Haithabu is a beautiful piece of jewelry from the Viking Age. The original was made in an elaborate granulation technique in the Terslev style. This well-known style, inspired by Carolingian-Ottoman models in the Baltic region, originated around the second half of the 10th century. Amulets with granulated filigree details adorned with the Terslev style also existed in the Viking Age on the island of Hiddensee and Zealand. These original pieces featured small beads and fine wires that were soldered on in intricate detail.
Our replica of the Viking amulet bronze is made from a single casting, with a good representation of the style.
