10th-11th century AD. Just over 1" total height. Bronze is shaped like a duck's foot and intricately detailed with raised claws and a connecting web.
A burial at Viden, Denmark contained the body of a woman of wealth and status buried with henbane seeds, which have hallucinogenic properties, and a wand as well as other objects. From these, archeologists concluded that she was a seeress or sorceress. (Among Vikings, only women were sorcerers.) The grave contained a necklace hung with three duck feet pendants very similar to this.
Professionally refurbished with the silver surface restored, on a Sterling silver neck chain modern wear. Jewelry gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
