Viking arrows were likely used more for survival than they were warfare, as they are most often associated with the act of hunting. The leaf-like shape of this specimen was common among those looking for their next meal and would be tanged into the shaft of the arrow. With their powerful bows, a Norse hunter could strike a target from over 600 feet away and bring down even large game like elk and bears.
Above: Viking Arrowhead Pendant
This specimen is a Viking arrowhead mounted as a pendant necklace. The arrowheads date to roughly 900 CE. As pictured above, the necklace comes with a handsome display/storage box and a small information card that also serves as the certificate of authenticity. All other components of the necklace are sterling silver, including the heavy 18″ (45cm) wheat chain.
Please Note: This is not a light necklace. All of the pendants are roughly 2″ in length. The shape and condition varies quite widely so we’ve opted to sell these individually. Each will come with a heavy 18″ Sterling Silver wheat chain. 24″ chains are also available and may be more suitable for your particular Viking if they are of a certain stature.
Caution: Specimens selected for jewelry purposes have edges and points worn somewhat smooth by the centuries. That said, these are still arrowheads so use good judgment when wearing these pendants.
Care: All pendants are quite solid and have been treated against further decay. However, we definitely recommend that you avoid water while wearing these pendants.
