Description: This is a rare bronze, Viking spoon, suspension pendant, with beautiful detail! It measures 2 5/8", has a beautiful dark green patina with areas of bright green, and an intact suspension loop. Finding one in this condition is rare!Good luck and happy bidding!This is an AMAZING item for a true Viking or antiquity collector! I have a lot of other antiquities and very old- ancient keys listed as well, so please take a look at my other auctions. I do combine shipping. However, many of my items are heavy so I can add anywhere from $.50-$2.00 for each additional item depending on size and weight.Buyers that buy several items will get them shipped in a priority mail flat rate box, and I'll always be fair with the cost regardless of what's listed on the auction (they make you choose). So feel free to take as many as you like! Hello, I'm Storm and all of my items are from my personal collection and 100% genuine/authentic. My collection is always growing so I need to scale it down some. I'm in no hurry to sell anything, and I hope and expect to get what I believe is fair for them or I just won't sell it. I've collected antiquities for 30+ years. Long before I ever bought antiquities on here. Which really helped me learn to identify fakes/ forgeries that I see far to often on ebay. I can't be the only one that looks through a sellers antiquities only to see 90%+ of the items are fake, and bad fakes at that! I see some sellers with most or all fakes, selling their items as genuine, but yet they have 100% positive feedback..... that's shocking because it means that all of the buyers are unaware that they bought and possess fakes. Ebay wasn't this bad 15+ years ago. I've reported the sellers of all fake items and watched nothing happen. So that is why I'm hoping buyers will read this and hopefully do some research before buying artifacts. *** Some things for buyers to beware of *** -If the seller is in Bulgaria, Cyprus, or Indonesia, it's almost guaranteed that their items are not genuine. I do find that most sellers I see with genuine artifacts are in the Ukraine and some in the UK. That's not to say they aren't in other countries too, but this is what I've learned. -If they have more than one very rare item that looks exactly the same as another item they're selling, then they're selling fakes. There are many bronze, iron, and silver antiquities that come from molds, but most are of the more commonly produced items and aren't exactly rare. they will never be worn down the same, and any damage will greatly differ from one item to the next. - Try to learn what real bronze patinas look like as there are several different colors, but also know that patinas are extremity tough/hard. Often times looking closely at bronze patinas and seeing some of it chipped is an easy way to identify an authentic item. Fake patinas can usually be rubbed or wiped off. Although genuine bronze antiquities can have an outer later of patina that's softer than the hard patina under it, but generally that will be cleaned off prior to selling. Many of my items came directly from metal detectorist and still contained lots of build up that I needed to clean off. Some weren't even if identifiable upon seeing pictures, and once cleaned I ended up with many extraordinary one of a kind or very rare pieces. The cleaning took time and effort, but I miss those days!! All of my items are 100% guaranteed to be original antiquities. My descriptions come mainly from the location that they were detected/found, the detectorists info on it, and also my own personal knowledge and research. Feel free to message me with any questions and I'll get back to you with an answer ASAP. I accept PayPal or CC payments, and all payments must be made within 48 hours of the auctions end. If payment is not received within 48 hours a non paying buyer case will be opened and the item relisted. I do my best to ship items within 3 business days of the payment being made, and tracking will be posted once it's sent. Thank you for reading and happy bidding!! Storm
