Viking amulet from Hedeby in Terslev style.

Our replica, on the other hand, is completely cast in one piece, whereby the depiction is splendidly expressed.

The treasure of Terslev was buried towards the end of the tenth century on the island of Zealand in Denmark and consisted of a considerable 6.6 kg of silver, including 1751 coins, mainly of Arab origin.
In addition, the treasure consisted of necklaces and bracelets, necklaces and pendants, a toilet set as well as a silver drinking service with several cups and a large embossed bowl presumably of Persian origin. The silver treasure from Terslev is now in the Danish National Museum in Copenhagen.
