Viking Age brooch with serpent depiction.
Here you can buy a beautiful Viking brooch that shows an openwork depiction of intertwined serpentine creatures.
The model for this free interpretation was a baptismal font showing a depiction of Gunnar in the snake pit. According to the legend, the Burgundian king Gundahar (Gunther, Gunnar) was thrown to the snakes by his brother-in-law Atli (Etzel, Atilla) in order to persuade him to surrender his treasure.
You can buy the Viking Age brooch in high-quality bronze and in real silver-plated.
On the back the Viking Age brooch has a sturdy pin which is also suitable for stronger fabrics.
Dimensions: 5,8 x 4 cm.
The depiction of serpentine creatures or snakes was often thematized in Viking art. Not only was the story of Gunnar in the snake pit often depicted in Viking art, but the Viking prince Ragnar Lodbrok is also said to have died beating his harp in a snake pit into which the English king Ælle had thrown him, and King Olav Tryggvasson's famous warship was called Ormen Lange, meaning long snake.
