birka amulet grave 943 silvered Middeleeuwse hemden en tunieken Later variationsThe amulet is a replica of a granulated original excavated in grave 943 in the Viking town of Birka. Viking and Slavic peoples had a great love of granulated jewellery, which was worn across Europe, all the way to Russia. Originally, such jewels were made by soldering each part individually onto the amulet. This piece has been cast in one piece and is therefore more affordably priced.
