Gold Plated Uppsala Replica Viking Age Thor's Hammer Pendant

This is a solid, and heavy MjolnirThor's hammer replica of one from the Viking period that was found in Denmark. Thor's Hammers are worn by followers of the Norse god, Thor, for protection.  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.
