拍品描述
Description Northern Europe, Scandinavia, Viking or Norse culture, ca. 9th to 11th century CE. A beautiful pendant - formed from electrum comprised of 43.8% gold, 43.5% silver, and 9.9% copper - that depicts Loki, the Norse trickster god and brother of the thunder god Thor. The discoid pendant presents a portrait of Loki wearing intricate armor with projecting shoulder panels as well as a bicorn helmet while holding both arms down to his sides. The raised area of the pendant exhibit glinting golden areas as well as thick sections of green patina, and the rounded periphery is adorned with petite circular granules. An integral suspension loop above Loki's head enables the wearability of this pendant on a necklace strand or bracelet. The Vikings wore pendants with images of Loki because, while known as a trickster, he was able to deftly escape from most dangerous situations in a variety of creative means. Size: 0.6" W x 0.75" H (1.5 cm x 1.9 cm); quality of electrum: 43.8% gold, 43.5 % silver, 9.9% copper; total weight: 1.7 grams.
