Early Viking Pewter Valsgarde Beard Bead

Our Valsgarde Bead has been decorated with a design taken from a gilt-bronze bridle-mount which predates the viking era in origin. Dating from the 7th Century, the interlacing ribbon-like animals with outstretched jaws on the carving have been identified as Style II. This bead, cast in pewter, is perfect as a dreadlock adornment an a thick beard plait, weighing 8.4g and measuring 1.4cm x 1.8cm with a 8mm hole. It is sold individually and delivered in our eco-friendly packaging. Made in Scotland.
