Inscription:

This pendant shows a Viking style dragon. It comes from Gotland, an island off the coast of Sweden. To the Vikings, the dragon was a symbol of power and fulfillment. The dragon hoarded gold and, it is said, beautiful virgins. These were also prizes the Vikings plundered from the villages they raided. The dragon evokes the power of the sky, where they flew, the mountains where they lived, and the power of fire that appeared in their very breath. The dragon was thought of as a beast of incredible power. No living creature could challenge it and live. So also was the power of the Vikings, who stormed undefeatable through Northern Europe.

Includes:

• 1.5" wide pendant
