Looks completely modern to me, the sort of jewellery currently made by modern silver craft workers.

Hi Anrew absolutely not modern...

Q.

Isn't this the somewhat common iron-age silver axe-form charm pendant found throughout Northern Europe (often claimed to be "Viking")?

Hi Scratch,

 Thank you

They are common in the Danubian lands.  All seem to be silver.  I don't think they are all Viking given how widely they are found.  I think more likely early Medieval in general.  Likely used by the Slavic peoples in central Europe.

I was speaking to a dealer today who believed that they are Dacian.

Hopefully someone will find an academic work with more clues.

Hi all, it's been a while since my last post but I'm back again 

Here in Serbia they are pretty common on market, all sources indicate that they originate from Eastern Europe (today Russia) and that are widespread in Early middle ages by Slavic people in other parts of Europe. There are in different forms and usually made of silver but i have one brass and even saw few silvered. My opinion is that actually Sarmatians first brought them in Danube areas much earlier but perhaps not to such extent as Slavic people.

plate is taken from EARLY MEDIEVAL MINIATURE AXES OF MAKAROV'S TYPE 2 IN THE BALTIC SEA REGION (CO-AUTHOR - P. KUCYPERA) you can find it for download.
