Gold Plated Danish Hammered Hammer Replica Viking Age Pendant

This Mjolnir is a replica of a metal detector find from Denmark. It was found in 2012 and is dated to the reign of Harald Bluetooth in the 10th century. Our pewter pendant is cast and hand finished by us in Scotland. It is supplied on a length of black waxed cord, and presented on a pendant card. Gilding, or gold plating, was carried out on many jewelry items in the Viking age, using the mercury gilding process. This piece has a 1micron thick layer of gold, plated over pewter, to give an attractive representation of what some of these Viking age pieces may have looked like when they were first made. It is cast in lead free pewter in Scotland, then gold plated, and comes with a length of black cord.
