Viking rune bead : algiz

The Algiz rune represents the letters X and Z. These beads have been created using our Asgard futhark to correspond each bead to a letter from the English language. We have studied a number of the futharks to find the best fit for each modern letter. Opposing each rune is a hand carved viking ship that is based on the Bornholm Brooch. These beads have an 8mm hole, and make a great addition to any viking beard. They can also be used in hair and dreadlocks. They weigh 10g and measure 19mm by 14mm.
