What a fantastic piece of jewellery! Made in Sterling Silver and featuring a viking style design with fine detailing, this pendant was made in Finland by the silver manufacturer Kaunis Koru. The hallmarks date the piece to 1975. The level of detail in this pendant is amazing, from the grain on the outside, the rams heads and the oxidised finish, it is of excellent craftsmanship. 

There is no official name for the design but we have a photo of a catalogue of the time which gives the design name as "Länsi-Suomesta viikinkiajalta" (which we roughly translate to being 'from the Western Finland Viking Age'). 

This makes for an amazing unique piece of jewellery. The bail allows a thick chain to be used creating a very striking, masculine style pendant. It is also perfect for the collector of viking style pieces or Finnish made jewellery.
