Dark Ages: Viking and Migration Age Europe

DA 1. Viking Pendant made from an Abbasid Caliphate Gold Dinar ca. late 9th Cent. AD.

In the East, the Vikings exchanged furs, slaves, Baltic Amber and weapons to the Arabs in exchange for gold and silver coins. The silver coins or “Dirhems” have been found in hoards as far West as Iceland. The much rarer gold Dinars were used exclusively for jewelry and adornment. This one is in great condition and was carefully crafted into a pendant by the Vikings. This piece surfaced at London auction house but exact provenance is uncertain. For reference see “Viking Art” by James Graham Campbell, page 61 for a photo of the Hoen Hoard found in Norway which contained twenty of these Dinars, all fashioned into pendants identical to this one.

Pendants identical to this example were found in the Vårby hoard in Sweden, a striking collection of gold and silver objects, hidden in a wood near the sailing route to Birka. The hoard contained objects from countries as far away as Central Asia, indicating that the original owners must have had an extensive network. This particular pendant was found by a detectorist in Poland and is guaranteed 100% authentic. See no. 304 (example to the right) and no. 27, p. 78, fig. 6 in E. Roesdahl and D.M. Wilson, From Viking to Crusader: The Scandinavians and Europe 800-1200.

Flawless example of this simple interlaced Christian Cross amulet. Made of cast white bronze. Found in a Viking settlement in Central Europe.

DA 9. Dug Anglo Saxon “Horse Head” Brooch. 5th-6th Cent. AD.

A relic from the very first days when Saxons, Angles and Jutish Pirates overran the undefended Roman Province of Britannia. They drove the Romano Britons into a corner of the island that became Wales. This invasion came in waves and was accompanied with great slaughter and plundering. The Pagan Germanic tribes settled across the island and under the Christianizing influence of the Catholic Church developed a peace loving society with high levels of art and learning. In the year 786, there is an entry in the Anglo Saxon Chronicle that mentions three Longships coming ashore;

“Here Beorhtric [AD 786-802] took King Offa’s daughter Eadburh. And in his days there came for the first time 3 ships; and then the King’s Reeve (Sheriff) rode there and wanted to compel them to go to the king’s town, because he did not know what they were; and they slew him. Those were the first ships of the Danish men which sought out the land of the English race.” Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (Winchester MS).

Here is the first contact of what would become two and a half centuries of savage Viking attacks and settlement ravaging the whole island. It seems that the blood shed in the Anglo Saxon Conquest came to fall upon their heads when they least expected it and in greater measure. This Pagan Anglo-Saxon Bronze Brooch is remarkable for it’s size, 5.5″ as well as the fantastic green patina and decoration. They were worn in pairs by women and pinned their cloaks at the shoulders. Found by a detectorist in Kent. No repairs or alterations.

DA 10. “Vikings” Reference Book by Tai Larsen.

This great book has been sold out by Amazon and is very hard to get. I have twenty copies that I got directly from the author who has hand signed them all. This book has great pictures of dug Swords, Axes, Amulets, Spears, Arrow Points, Horse Trappings, Belts and much more. Tai composed his own Scandinavian Saga influenced poetry to accompany the pictures. Paperback format and 104 richly illustrated pages. Great stuff and perfect for an introduction to these relics unlike the overwhelmingly exhaustive and academic works by Holger Arbman which cover the excavations at Birka in Sweden. I highly recommend his works if you can find them and want to take your interest further. Two other great introductory volumes I will recommend are “The Viking World” and “Viking Art” both by James Duncan Campbell.

DA 23. Viking Stirrups and Bit from Pagan Cremation Burial ca. 850-1000 AD.

Fantastic condition. When wrought iron is burned it undergoes a process in which it becomes carbonized and resistant to oxidation. Swords and other iron weapons found in cremations can also have this process or “Gladeskall” offering them an enhanced state of preservation. Only a high status warrior would be able to afford a horse and all that entails. Horses were often slaughtered and cremated with their master for service in Valhalla. Provenance: Eastern Europe.

$395.00

DA 23. Excavated Viking Warrior’s Battle Sword ca. 10th-11th Century AD.

Provenance of Northern Germany (possibly near the Viking trade emporium of Haithabu). Condition is very good and complete. A classic example of a Petersen Type V Sword. Note gold wire inlay on the cross guard. The pommel most surely had this same decoration, but is is obscured by oxidation. Viking swords in any condition are extremely rare and the vast majority being marketed online and at auctions are fakes or miss-identified. The blade retains its temper and sharp edge in spite of the pitting. When you handle the sword, the first thing that surprises you is how light and balanced it is. A true killing machine in the hands of an experienced warrior. Viking swords were given names such as “Leg Biter”, “Snake of the Byrnie”. Leech of Wounds”, “Flame of Battle” and “Hole Maker”. These swords were very well made with many of the blades being forged in the Frankish Rhineland and traded to the Norse. The Vikings thereafter would add their own decoration and hilts. This trade became painfully acute to the Frankish authorities who enacted measures to ban this commerce as raiding increased. Viking swords were highly prized, and were traded as far as Ireland, North Africa, Constantinople, Russia and even Baghdad. There is a wide variety of intricately crafted hilts and cross guards on these swords influenced by Scandinavian, Anglo-Saxon, Celtic and Slavic art forms. One can only imagine the scenes of carnage and chaos that were witnessed by this amazing weapon.

$595.00

ANT R 6. Ancient Roman Fascinus (Phallus) Pendant/Amulet, 1st-2nd Century AD.

In ancient Roman religion and magic, the fascinus or fascinum was the embodiment of the divine phallus. The word can refer to phallus effigies and amulets, and to the spells used to invoke his divine protection. Pliny calls it a medicus invidiae, a “doctor” or remedy for envy (invidia, a “looking upon”) or the evil eye. The English word “fascinate” ultimately derives from Latin fascinum and the related verb fascinare, “to use the power of the fascinus”, that is, “to practice magic” and hence “to enchant, bewitch”. Catullus uses the verb at the end of Carme 7, a hendecasyllabic poem . Phallic charms, were ubiquitous in Roman culture, appearing as objects of jewelry such as pendants and finger rings, relief carvings, lamps, and wind chimes (tintinnabula). Fascinus was thought particularly to ward off evil from children, mainly boys, and from conquering generals. The protective function of the phallus is usually related to the virile and regenerative powers of an erect phallus. Varro notes the custom of hanging a phallic charm on a baby’s neck, and examples have been found of phallus-bearing rings too small to be worn except by children. A 2017 experimental archaeology project suggested that some types of phallic pendant were designed to remain pointing outwards, in the direction of travel of the wearer, in order to face towards any potential danger or bad luck and nullify it before it could affect the wearer. The pendant offered here is made of cast bronze was probably found by a metal detectorist in England.
