The “Perun’s Axe” pendant is a replica of a miniature axe from the late Viking Age, based on an 11th-century original found near Bergen, Norway. This amulet was worn by the West Slavs and Rus and was an attribute of the Slavic god Perun. Typical decorations include circular ornaments and zigzag lines, symbols of the sun and lightning. This type of amulet was found in large numbers in archaeological material from the East Europe. This type of miniature axe was common in the Baltic and Slavic countries during the Viking Period, especially along the Daugava river in Latvia and the Dnieper river in Ukraine. Examples have also been found in Gotland, the Oslo Fjord, and Bergen, Norway. It’s hand made of bronze. Measurements: 2.4 x 3.7 cm.
