Based on wood carvings apparently depicting protective spirits for fishermen. Carved all way round, sterling silver... on ice :)

Viking ring - Seals by *somk is unquestionably one of the most astounding works of art I have ever seen. It is an intricately detailed ring made of sterling silver on a backdrop of ice, component to a literal treasure trove of jewelry. I'm rarely so compelled to point this out, but please take a moment to view this gallery of superior craftsmanship. ( Featured by `frail )

Incredible quality and exquisite carving skills....seems to capture the essence of Viking patterns (in the way that it looks kinda dusty)....

Whoa...I'm writing a story right now and this is -exactly- what I envision one of the main quest items to look like. Thank you so much for bringing life to my vision, even if it was coincidence!
