During the Viking Age (793-1066 AD), torques were an important part of Scandinavian culture and many other European Tribes who lived on territories covering today Ukraine, Poland, Germany, UK, France and other counties. Vikings wore torques as a sign of wealth, power, and status, often given as gifts or rewards for acts of bravery. Torques were central Symbols of Supreme power in Scandinavian societies, part of the official costume for Viking Kings, Jarls, and noble women. Viking torques were made from silver, gold, or bronze, and could be large and heavy. Worn by both men and women, women would wear more elegant yet still substantive designs. One of the most famous Viking torques is the Hiddensee Treasure, discovered in Germany in 1873, featuring several torques, including a silver piece weighing over 1.8 kg. Designs ranged from simple to ornate; animal head terminals were typical and often had protective meanings. Twisted or braided metals created intricate, symbolic patterns commonly seen in silver torques.
