Viking Drakkar Pendant, Antlers Hand Carved

Drakkar Viking Amulet, Dragon Pendant hand-carved from moose antlers.

Handmade and shipped from Ukraine. Production time 5-10 days.

This exquisite piece draws directly from the dragons of Norse sagas—beings endowed with special power and strength. Moose and deer antlers, along with wood, were among the Vikings’ favored materials for crafting ornate jewelry and essential adornments. Animal motifs inspired by nature and Norse mythology featured prominently in both men’s and women’s bone jewelry. This pendant measures 8 cm (3.15 inches), meticulously carved from naturally shed moose antlers, ensuring no harm comes to the animals. Since ancient times, these antlers have been prized for their strength and durability, making them ideal for crafting weapons and jewelry. Each amulet is unique, with small variances reflecting artisan handwork. Inspired by the iconic dragonships—DRAGON = DRAKE (Old Norse dreki, plural drekar)—these longships, often reserved for chieftains and kings, were champions of Viking prowess and prestige. Their carved dragon heads signified the owner’s status and power. Recommendations for wear and storage: protect from prolonged heat, moisture, direct sunlight, and chemicals to ensure longevity. A powerful tribute to Viking craftsmanship for history lovers and mythology enthusiasts.
