Danelaw England. Silvered bronze, over 1 1/4" of elongated conical form with butted seam and pierced terminal with its original suspension ring. Double decorative bands at the top and bottom.

They served as noisemakers (jingles) and provided eye-catching motion in the sun. Professionally refurbished with the silver surface restored, on a modern Sterling silver neck chain. Handcrafted by a Viking artisan, 1000 years ago! Gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
