Its paired horse heads rise above a richly patterned openwork body, while a fringe of articulated lozenge-shaped pendants, often called “duck feet,” created movement and sound. \u003cspan class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eThe pendant’s original use was likely both ornamental and performative: its suspended elements would have chimed with the wearer’s movement, creating an audible presence appropriate to display, ceremony, or ritual. Rebecca preserves the bronze intact, setting a 2.06 carat unheated pink sapphire within the central field. Suspended from a grey suede cord, the jewel brings an early medieval object of protection, movement, and status into the realm of contemporary high jewelry. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"marker:text-secondary list-disc pl-8\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtifact:\u003c\/strong\u003e Viking-era bronze pendant, c. 700-900 AD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Finland or northwestern Russia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGemstone:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.06 Carat Unheated Pink Sapphire (GIA)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSetting:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18k yellow gold\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMuseum Examples:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.britishmuseum.org\/collection\/object\/H_1891-1021-108\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"museum comparable british museum\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eBritish Museum\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.britishmuseum.org\/collection\/object\/H_1922-0601-244\" title=\"British Museum Viking Pendant\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBritish Museum\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rebecca Rau Jewels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44092898967611,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/2895\/5195\/files\/pinkvikingweb.jpg?v=1788297857","url":"https:\/\/rebeccaraujewels.com\/products\/pink-viking-necklace","provider":"REBECCA RAU JEWELS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
