## Shields of the North

A painted pattern would have identified the clan of a warrior. The Vikings lived in Northern Europe during the Middle Ages. Their Age ran from 800 to 1066 CE. The red white shield pendant echoes those patterns.

## Jewelry of the Vikings

The word Viking means to raid in Old Norse. The card describes why Vikings wore jewelry and how it changed. This Norse costume necklace makes a fun part of a home school kit.

## Wearing the Shield

A Viking shield pendant hangs well over a plain tunic. A second red white shield pendant could mark another clan in a group costume. A Norse costume necklace also helps tell the story in a classroom.

## Styling and Wearing the Viking shield necklace

Wear it as part of a Viking historical costume. It also helps teach children about the Middle Ages.

## Care Notes

Wipe the resin with a soft, dry cloth. Keep it away from water and strong chemicals. Store it flat to protect the paint and the cord.
