Product description
This robust bronze torque is crafted with a twisted design and features a strong closure, making it a durable and striking accessory. Its solid construction and impressive size make it perfect for those with a strong neck. Inspired by the silver torque found in the Viking treasure of Rügen, this piece is an excellent addition to pagan and Viking-era attire, ideal for LARP, reenactment, and medieval festivals. With an inner circumference of 50 cm and a diameter of 16 cm, this torque is designed for warriors and men of stature.
In Viking culture, torques were more than jewelry; they were symbols of status and strength and were associated with oaths. Often awarded as honors for exceptional deeds, they reflected the virtues and loyalty of the wearer to their tribe or clan. The larger and more massive the torque, the higher the individual's standing and contribution to society. These impressive ornaments embodied respect, trust, and unity, making them meaningful items that conveyed both personal and communal value.
The design of this torque is inspired by the treasure of Harald Bluetooth, the Danish king who reigned from around 958 to 987. The Rügen treasure, discovered in 2018, includes silver torques and other items linked to Harald's time. Harald Bluetooth is credited with uniting Denmark and converting it to Christianity, though his reign is also marked by significant Viking traditions.
