Cast Bronze Antler Pendant inscribed with the Elder Futhark Rune Nauthiz on one face, and Wunjo on the opposite face. Both are etched at the top approx. 3/8” from the top flat edge of the pendant. A small hole through the bronze antler allows for a smooth leather cord to pass through. Pendant is strung on a generously long smooth 1/16” wide black leather cord.
