Wolf Amulet – Borre Style Viking Age Pendant
Hand-carved openwork wolf design based on early Scandinavian animal art
$35.00
This pendant is based on Viking Age wolf imagery executed in the Borre style, a decorative tradition common in Scandinavia during the 9th and 10th centuries. The form reflects the gripping-beast style seen on metal pendants, mounts, and fittings found in archaeological contexts across Norway and Denmark.
The wolf is rendered in a controlled, abstract shape with interlaced limbs and a ring-frame structure. This approach follows known historical examples rather than later mythological illustration.
Each piece is carved by hand from natural bone or dark bull horn. The surface retains the material’s natural character, with small variations in color and texture.
A solid choice for those interested in Viking Age art, historical replicas, and handcrafted objects with archaeological grounding.
