Two Nice Viking Items

Hi Eftihis,

Thank you so much for that comprehensive outline of the art history of the dragon motif. From my background of knowlede I can confirm both the monsters' or dragons' ancient European ancestors and their Renaissance revival.

Best,
Michael

Salaams ~ Therefor are the artefacts at # 1 fakes?... Is the dragon fake and is the stirrup item real? ... I am uncertain of your conclusion gentlemen.

Regards Ibrahiim al Balooshi.

Hi Ibrahiim,

Viking is not my field of expertise. I found these on a dealer's page and, as they were labeled sold, posted them for discussion without a comment.

Best,
Michael
