QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
How heavy is it?
About 26 g in 925 sterling silver. Our supplier's original listing called it small, which the weight does not support, so we describe it plainly instead.
What is the head at the top?
A sculpted beast head at the crown, where the cord or chain passes. Several surviving Viking Age hammer amulets carry an animal head in the same position.
Why did Vikings wear Thor's hammers?
Hammer amulets are among the most common Norse personal items found by archaeologists. They appear in greater numbers as Christianity spread through Scandinavia, which many researchers read as a deliberate statement of allegiance to the old gods.
Does it come with a chain?
This listing is for the pendant on its own. You can pair it with any of our Viking chains and necklaces.
