Freja, silver plated
Freja, silver plated. Find from Hagebyhöga in Östergötland, Viking Age. Height approx. 3 cm.
Circular pendant depicting a pregnant woman, partially enclosed by a ring. She stands with legs apart and hands clasped beneath her abdomen; the head and face are worn, but lines above the head may suggest a headdress. Her cloak is fastened at the neck with a disc-on-bow brooch, and a six-strand bead necklace hangs across her chest. The pendant is often interpreted as Freyja, goddess of fertility, childbirth, and a leader of the Valkyries. Found in a grave at Aska, Hagebyhöga parish, Östergötland.

Scanglas sells handcrafted products made from various materials such as glass, metal, horn, bone, and wood. Each product is unique, with natural variations in color, finish, size, and shape that reflect the charm of genuine craftsmanship.
Our historical glassware consists of meticulously crafted replicas that capture the 2000-year history of glassblowing. Each piece is mouth-blown and handmade, featuring details such as decorations and glass threads, giving them an authentic character. A hallmark of handmade glass is the punt mark on the underside, the softly rounded edge on the rim, and subtle variations in size, thickness, and details. The specially formulated glass material mimics historical color tones and includes small air bubbles and structural variations, which together contribute to the glassware's unique and genuine character.
In addition to glass, we also offer products made of metal, horn, bone, and wood. These items are carefully crafted using traditional techniques to preserve their natural properties and highlight the authenticity of the craftsmanship.
