The kit contains approximately 44 assorted glass, horn and bone beads plus cord with which to make your very own version of the Viking Pagan Lady’s necklace discovered at Peel Castle in the Isle of Man. The kit is packaged in a Organza pouch. The kit contains some information on the original Viking necklace.

The original 10th century necklace can be seen in the Manx Museum Viking gallery. The necklace was discovered in a grave at Peel Castle during archaeological excavations and proved to be one of the richest Viking Age female burials outside Scandinavia. Some of the beads were 300 years when the Viking lady was wearing the necklace!

The Pagan Lady’s necklace is also featured in the BBC’s History of the World in 1000 Objects website www.bbc.co.uk/historyoftheworld.
