Serpents and dragons occupied a significant place in Norse mythology and material culture, from Jormungandr, the vast sea-serpent said to encircle the world, to the dragon-headed prows that gave Viking longships their distinctive silhouette. This cuff casts a pair of Norse serpents in detailed antiqued brass, riveted onto thick, vegetable-tanned leather in a smaller sizing for a closer, more compact fit.
Leather Wrist Cuff, Norse Serpents, Small
This wrist cuff carries twin Norse serpents, cast in finely detailed antiqued brass and riveted onto the leather. Serpent and dragon imagery held real significance in Norse art and mythology, most famously in Jormungandr, the world-serpent, and in the carved dragon prows of Viking ships. The leather itself is thick, well-dyed, vegetable-tanned leather of genuine quality, in this smaller sizing.
- Material: Vegetable-tanned leather with cast antiqued brass serpents
