Bronze Axe Pendant

The ax is probably the most characteristic weapon of the Vikings. One cannot think of the Vikings without thinking about their vicious axes. The typical Norseman wore a small ax at their belt. Carrying an ax was as common to a Norseman as it was for anyone else in the world carrying a knife at the time. It was part of their culture and a quality ax was a often a symbol of status.
