The two expressive wolf heads on this Viking brooch chain were modelled on a Thor's hammer from Iceland and "bite" into two small S-hooks, which are used to attach them to the brooches.
The foxtail brooch chain has a total length of 30 cm and a thickness of 5 mm.
The very aesthetically set spherical rock crystal pendant was modelled on Viking Age finds from the Swedish island of Gotland and comes with a sphere made of genuine rock crystal.
The pendant measures 4.3 x 2.5 cm (including the ring).
The rock crystal sphere itself measures 22 mm, the bronze ring 15 mm in diameter.

Alloy...
The links of foxtail chains consist of many eyelets that are interlocked and bent together. Due to the way they are made, foxtail chains are as stable as they are flexible. However, they were not only used by the Vikings. Such chains were already worn in the Celtic Latène period and were also in use in the subsequent Roman imperial period, where they were particularly common as necklaces for women.
