Viking Bone Pendant with Bearded Face

York Bearded Face Bone Pendant – Viking Age Historical Replica

Discover this distinctive bone pendant depicting a bearded face, inspired by an archaeological find from Clifford Street, York (England), dated between c. 866 and c. 1066 AD. The stylised design, with large circular eyes, a prominent beard, and incised hair, reflects the artistic traditions of Viking Age and Late Anglo-Saxon England.

Anthropomorphic carvings of this type are known from several archaeological contexts across Northern Europe and are often associated with personal adornment, symbolic imagery, or representations of important figures within Early Medieval society.

Crafted from genuine bone, this replica faithfully reproduces the appearance of the original artefact while incorporating a discreet brass suspension loop, making it suitable for everyday wear as a pendant.
