Ca. 900-1100 AD. A silver ring with a D-shaped hoop and flattened, rectangular bezel bearing a gilded interlaced design. Excellent condition, wearable. The era known as the Viking age lasted for more than 300 years, from the late 8th century to the late 11th century. The history of the Vikings is closely linked to their role as masters of the sea. They were feared as fierce and ruthless invaders; this ring probably belonged to a Viking warrior who left his home to travel and fight in search of fortune.Size: D:19.76mm / US: 10 / UK: T 1/2; 3.3gProvenance: Private UK collection; From an old London collection formed in the 1990s.
