- GULDGUBBE - bronze pendant
Bronze replica of the Guldgubbe pendant , dating from the Iron Age, Bornholm, Sweden ca. 6th century AD.
Guldgubbers are one to two centimetre high figures made of gold leaf, known only from Scandinavia and were very common in the Germanic Iron Age. Most Guldgubbers have been found on the Danish island of Bornholm. Around 2,500 of these gold plates have been discovered at the "Sorte Muld" site near Svaneke alone.
There are three main motifs: man, woman, kissing couples and animals. They could have been votive objects or ritual means of payment. In rare cases, the gold plates are pierced for sewing and some guldgubbers even have eyelets. The first gold figures were created in the Germanic Iron Age around 375 AD and continued to be used until the Viking Age, with the Guldgubber's heyday reaching its peak in the Vandal period between 550 and 800 AD.
