Thors hammer pendant

Iron Thor's hammer pendant. The extension to the shaft of the hammer forms a loop which is finished on the underside by being wound twice round the shaft of the hammer. This may indicate that the hammer was worn as a pendant, and was not placed on a ring together with other pendants. Settlement find, Norrtil, Sankt Olof Parish, Uppland. Loan from Sigtuna Museum.
