viking torque with dragon heads Chinese zwaarden The Viking ring is craftedThe torque is based on an original worn by the Vikings around the 8th and 9th century. The original was excavated in Gotland. Originally the torque was a Celtic Gaulish neck jewel that served as a symbol of status for the wearer. It is unknown how and when the Vikings adopted this tradition; one possibility is that it was transferred from the ancient Germanic tribes. In many cases, there was no great difference between Germanic and Gaulish culture.
