Over the decades, the Vikings perfected their knowledge of shipbuilding and marine and thus gradually managed to expand their area of influence. With the raid on the monastery of Lindisfarne in England in 793 AD, the beginning of the Viking period is generally set. The Scandinavian tribes of brave and intrepid sailors with their dreaded Drakkar ships drove across the oceans even to America during their conquest campaigns. Our pewter figure features a typical Viking warrior with the classic Viking axe and a typical round shield. Cast from pewter and hand painted.
