Viking skeggox pendant of the Viking Age.
The expressive bearded axe pendant is modelled on a so-called skeggox, which comes from a Viking-era find on the Swedish island of Gotland.
The term skeggox is composed of the Old Norse words "skegg" for beard and "ox" for axe and thus means bearded axe.
The skeggox was widespread in the North from the 6th century until the end of the Viking Age because the bearded axe ensured a perfect ratio of weight, material use and blade width.
Axe amulets are known from the time of the Vikings from various sites and enjoyed a certain popularity especially among the eastern Vikings, but were also common in the Baltic and Sweden.
The axe pendant measures 3.3 x 2.8 cm.
The Skeggox amulet is made of high-quality bronze and is also available in genuine silver-plated.
A black leather cord in 1 m length for the beard axe amulet is included.
The axe was widespread and immensely popular among the Vikings, as it was a weapon that was quite easy to make, required little forging skill and was also useful as a tool. In the Viking Age, the axe was considered the most important weapon of the common man, next to the spear, as only very few could afford a sword at that time.
