viking neck torque collectors piece from private collection
ownership history available
originally a Lake Ladoga Latvia viking settlement area find
twisted bronze with amazing details, wonderful dark patina
is actually wearable , just be respectful and take great care
better as a display piece
fit for museum or viking exhibit
torques were worn by women to symbolise their and their husbands' stats in the community the more elaborate the torque the more high status the wife. this spiraling twisted beauty is wonderfully intact in almost original condition as its been very well cared for and professionally cleaned only one small spot where the patina has chipped a bit (pictured, does not effect the stability or structure in any way ,is just a minor sign of wear considering the torques age ) loops on each end to hang pendants and charms or beads or bells from.
dated 789-1060ad
i originally purchased from a reputable antiques shop in Riga, Latvia.
it is not uncommon to find artifacts from the baltic viking lake ladoga settlement area but the condition this torque is in for its age is immaculate. truly must see to appreciate.
I paid a lot for it,it's one of my favourites from my entire collection and it must go to a good home, to someone who can care for and appreciate it, please no low ballers.
