Amulet Warrior Vendel- bronze

Replica of a figure from the plate of a Vendel helmet.

The Vendel era followed a period of migration and preceded the Viking Age in Sweden. It can also be referred to as the Swedish Late Iron Age, dating from 550-750/800 AD.

Interwoven with refined Scandinavian craftsmanship, the tombs were filled with remarkably beautiful designs of jewelry and weapons. Sweden's Uppåkra and Helgö became vast trading posts, and raids began as the warrior elite turned their eyes and swords to the favor of their gods.
