Viking Valknut Pendant - Handmade Norse or Nordic Necklace
The triangular Viking symbol known as the Valknut (pronounced "VAL-knoot") is one of the most popular yet enigmatic symbols that appear in connection with Norse mythology. The word Valknut is a more modern Norwegian term that means "knot of those fallen in battle." It is most widely recognized as a prominent symbol adorning the 7th Century Tangelgarda stone on the island of Gotland, Sweden. While the true meaning of the Valknut is not fully known, historian H.R. Ellis Davidson describes the Valknut as a symbol relating to the power of the god Odin and his ability to lay bonds on the mind, thereby rendering men either helpless or crazed and fearless in battle. In a more general sense, the symbol is representative of Life, Death, and the After-Life.
We designed and handmade this pendant to pay homage to the legend and history of the Valknut. We used finely polished silver Pewter. The pendant has a flat backside, comes with a simple cotton neck cord, and measures about 1.2 inches in size. Please see below for more details.
