Pewter Viking Hiddensee Hammer Pendant - Extra Large

This is a full-size replica of one of the pendants from the Hiddensee hoard that was found in 1873. These massive pendants were originally cast in gold, date from the 10th century, and may have belonged to the Danish Royalty of the time.

The design itself is a mix of a pagan Thor's hammer and a Christian cross, reflecting the mix of the two cultures.

Full-size replicas have been made before for museum displays, notably for the Canadian Museum of History, and the local museum in Hiddensee, but this is the first full-size replica to be available for general sale.

The pewter version is cast and hand finished by Asgard in Scotland. It comes with a length of black waxed cord.

This pendant can be assembled with AV030 and beads spacers to recreate the original necklace find from the Hiddensee hoard. 6 of this type of pendant were found, along with 4 smaller ones similar to AV030, and 4 spacers.
