Viking Gold Ring with Braid Motif
Circa 9th - 11th century AD
An extremely fine Ancient Viking solid gold ring formed from twisted wires, graduating towards a tapered point. The gold wires create a pleasant and elegant braided motif.
In Scandinavian society during the Viking Age, where men lived and died by their honor, great importance was paid to the idea of gifting: for the Vikings finger rings were not merely ornamental. Rings were often used to cement bonds of loyalty between a lord and his warriors and followers. Bestowing such gifts was a demonstration of wealth and power.
