Bronze Viking Button

Seven small dark metal bells, round as nuts, each with a loop on top.

This is a bronze viking button. The Viking Age in Scandinavia is generally dated from the late eighth century to the mid eleventh, and Norse metalworkers cast many small bronze fittings and ornaments. Scattering of little globe-shaped bells in dark, dull metal, several with hanging loops at the top and a few plain. Their surfaces are matte, slightly pitted and uneven, with soft edges from age and handling.

Small, quiet, and ready to jingle on demand.
