sought-after ! Definitely viking era strap end circa 4th-8th century CE AD

This is another piece with a lot of movement in it combining two pieces of decorative bronze work one with a motive of a heart pattern and the top of the motif of what looks to be a flower. Although it's a heart motif it's not the heart that we think of today that shows love but rather a heart that meant being fierce, protection and in some cases wrath and vengeance. Quite a bit different if you look at it like that eh? Either way I love making these pieces that have movement because they just bring me so much joy and I honestly hope they do the same for you.
