Viking amulet from Hedeby in Terslev style.
Here you can buy a replica of the amulet from Haithabu, one of the most impressive pieces of jewellery from the late Viking Age.
The original Haithabu pendant was crafted using an elaborate granulation technique in the so-called
Terslev style. Our replica, on the other hand, is completely cast in one piece, whereby the depiction is splendidly expressed.
The Terselv style has its origins in
Carolingian-Ottoman models that appeared throughout the Baltic region from the second half of the 10th century onwards.

The treasure of Terslev was buried towards the end of the tenth century on the island of
Zealand in Denmark and consisted of a considerable 6.6 kg of silver, including 1751 coins, mainly of Arab origin.
In addition, the treasure consisted of necklaces and bracelets, necklaces and pendants, a toilet set as well as a silver drinking service with several cups and a large embossed bowl presumably of
Persian origin. The silver treasure from Terslev is now in the Danish National Museum in Copenhagen.
