Hand carved Viking shield dragon necklace norse jewelry.
To the Norse, dragons and serpents were the same creatures and not differentiated. 
These sea-serpents were symbolic of the Viking prowess, and were used to heighten the warrior's sense of self, and to frighten potential opponents. The dragons on the bows of their ships were also believed to scare away the serpents in the depths of the ocean.
 
This is a hand sculpted Viking design of 10 horned dragons. Protectors of the immortality.
