View translationViking Era Silver Torque neck or arm ring with spirals
No. 93124487
Due to custom regulations we can not ship outside the E.U. Please make sure you have an EU shipping address before bidding.
Viking period, silver torque made from a single rod of silver which has been expertly twisted, and ending in two spirals.
The size indicates it was probably worn as bracelet on the wrist or arm. The spirals on this bracelet were a popular motif, symbolic of life cycles and rebirth.
Inside diameter: ± 94,5 mm (widest point)
Condition: good and solid condition, signs of wear consistent with age and use. See images.
Certificate of Authenticity: available upon request (pdf-format).
The spiral is one of the oldest symbols of human spirituality. Spiral motifs appear in ancient carvings and painted rock art dating back thousands of years The infinite, twisting spiral was a favourite of the ancient Greeks and Celts and has continued to influence artists, thinkers and designers for millennia.
It is thought to represent growth, expansion, cosmic energy and a symbol of the sun, and it has been suggested to be linked to birth or rebirth. Spirals have been found in burial sites, in vases, in jewellery, clothing, weapons and buildings.
Throughout history, the spiral has been a highly valued design in Roman, Anglo-Saxon, and Viking art, and continues to be appreciated to this day.
