This Valkyrie pendant is based on an original 9th century original and is crafted from antique-finished metal. It is paired with a knotted leather cord and is ready for wear. This pendant is based on an amulet that was found in Birka, Sweden and was probably a protective amulet placed in the grave of a deceased warrior. It depicts a Valkyrie in a flowing robe or cape with long hair tied into an elaborate arrangement, striding forward bearing a drinking horn to a fallen warrior. Among the most iconic and enduring of Norse mythological imagery are the Valkyries, their name coming from Old Norse ‘’Valkyrja’’ - meaning ‘’chooser of the slain’’. Chosen warriors who fell in battle would be brought to Valhalla by the Valkyries, where they joined the host of the Einherjar and tasked to fight and train for Valhalla by day to prepare for Ragnarök and to feast at eveningtide.
