Bronze Jelling Style Dragon Hair and Beard Beads
FAST & FREE UK DELIVERY
Solid bronze hair bead with a Jelling Style Dragon design suitable for beards or any other body hair that's long enough. Be creative!
The Jelling style appears from the start of the 10th century and continues for about 75 years. Stylistic animals are S-shaped and intertwined, with profiled heads, spiral hips and pigtails. Borre and Jelling overlap and occasionally both are used on the same object.
This bead has a dragon going around the bead with a rope design around the top and bottom of the bead.
There are three dragons primarily represented in Norse mythology, Nidhogg (or Nidhoggr), Jormungand (or Jormungandr), and Fafnir. Of these dragons, only Fafnir does not have any clear connection to Ragnarok (for those who don’t know Ragnarok is the final battle/end of time/beginning of the new world that defines much of Norse mythology).
This design in available in a silver olour finish as well. See the gallery. This listing in for the bronze version of this design.
