Link to the original Vendel-Amulet...
Openwork pendants depicting forming a Triskele in form of a serpent or ribbon-like animals are known from several finds from the Vendel period and seem to have parallels in form and size to contemporaneous Alemannic disc pendants from southern Germany.
In contrast to the historical original disc pendant with a diameter of about 6 cm, we have reduced the size of this replica to a diameter of 3.5 cm for use as an amulet.
A 1 m long black leather cord is included.
