Varoy Chain Set, Brass

Vikings used necklaces with animals or beasts biting onto a ring where pendants were hung. This variant consists of a brass chain ending in beast heads based on a find from Varøy, Vikna in Norway. The dragons bite onto a pendant ring with a brass Thor's Hammer based on the archaeological find from Ödeshög, Sweden. The sides have 'Thor' written in runes, and the front displays Grimfrost's bind-rune. The hammer head has Jörmungandr, the Midgard Serpent, wriggling across it. A 'Týr-rune', also known as a victory rune, is positioned beneath it, representing the serpent's fate to be killed by Thor come Ragnarök.
