Height - inch ( 45 mm) Weight - approx. 10 gram (0,35 oz) Two-sided Sterling Silver ​Pendant Chain not come with the pendant As a symbol, the axe stands for bravery, strength, and audacity. It is a reminder of heritage and the accomplishments of ancestors who bent the world to their will using only what they had. It is a symbol of the berserker, and all that entails. It conveys the heart or mind's ability to cut through that which holds one back and to forge boldly ahead. The most famous, and perhaps most common, Viking weapon was the axe. Viking axes ranged in size from hand axes (similar to tomahawks) to long-hafted battle axes. Unlike the axes usually depicted in fantasy illustrations, Viking axes were single-bitted (to make them faster and more maneuverable). Viking axes were sometimes "bearded," which is to say that the lower portion of the axe head was hook-shaped to facilitate catching and pulling shield rims or limbs. The axe required far less iron, time, or skill to produce than a sword; and because it was an important tool on farms and homesteads, the Norse would have had them in hand since childhood. The Viking axe would make the Norsemen famous, and even after the Viking Age waned, the descendants of the Vikings (such as the Varangians of Byzantium or the Galloglass of Ireland) would be sought after as bodyguards or elite mercenaries specifically for their axe skill. • All our products are handmade and comes nicely packaged with a black cord. ☆Visit our shop for more items - https://ivaldisonsforge.com☆ Returns, Exchanges & Cancellations - • Request a cancellation: within 12 hours of purchase • Return option available for 14 days after the delivery. • Buyer is responsible for return shipping costs and any loss in value if an item isn't returned in original condition. • Please contact us if you have any questions. ☆Care Guide☆ ✔Caring for silver jewelry at home is essential to maintain its shine and prevent tarnish.
