This bird pendant – 66 mm from breast to tip of tail and 12.29 grams – comes from northeastern Europe and can be considered Finnish. Types derived from it have been found as far away as Lapland. Considering the area from which it comes, the bird may represent a whooper swan.

The bird pendant was most likely once part of a particularly richly decorated – and heavy! – necklace as shown below.

A so called tortoise element from the same kind of necklace chain ornament is depicted below.

This ornament, consisting of an openwork part and a reduced version of a closed tortoise brooch, were also part of a necklace, as shown above. The whole measures 115 mm in length including the openwork part and the brooch; the brooch itself measures 60 mm in length.

The two, very stylized animals on either side of the openwork part, could represent hares.
