Ca. 900-1000 AD. A set of eight silver pendants made in open mold lost wax casting technique, frequently used in the Viking Age. The set comprises: (type 1) six cast silver open-work pendants with a Borre-style design of a gripping beast, an animal (cat?) with gripping paws with an enmeshed body, inside a circular frame further decorated with four protruding animal heads. Suspension loop with a central ridge and double median groove. The ribs of some of the pendants are nicked to imitate the filigree wire. The backsides of the pendants are undecorated. Given the number of recovered pendants of this type, it must have been a prevalent object at the time; (type 2) one large silver open-work discoid pendant with an integral T-shaped tubular loop; raised gusseted rim enclosing a pair of S-shaped beasts with billeted bodies and comma-shaped tails, enmeshed gripping paws clutching the edge and their own bodies. Despite the long period of overlap of Borre and Jellinge art styles, there are only a few examples of their fusion. Type 1 is the principal and most popular motif of the Borre style, while a typical Jellinge style beast is more slender with long, S-shaped body and ribbon decoration. This pendant, featuring a fusion of these styles, is formed as a circle with a pair of Jellinge-style beasts with ribbon-shaped bodies in profile and heads with open jaws and extended tongues. However, each is provided with gripping paws and an enmeshed body, which are typical features of the Borre style. The back of the pendant is undecorated; (type 3) a diamond-shaped open-work silver pendant in Borre style symmetrical design, depicting two animal heads with gripping paws. The back of the pendant is undecorated. Item comes with a professional historical report from Ancient Report Specialists.
