Ca. 900-1100 AD. A rare type of hack-gold ring formed of a circular hoop with a braided median section and tapering arms. This ring was intended to evoke the form of a snake. In Norse mythology, Jormungand also called the "Midgard Serpent" is a snake or dragon who lives in the ocean that surrounds Midgard, the visible world. He was so enormous that his body forms a circle around the entirety of Midgard. He is one of the three children of Loki and the giantess Angrboda, along with Hel and Fenrir.Size: D:19.35mm / US: 9 1/2 / UK: S 1/2; 10.6gProvenance: Property of a West London gentleman; previously in a collection formed on the UK/International art market since the 1970s.
