Viking Ship Pencil Topper - Pewter

Product Description: This Viking Ship pencil topper is made from lead-free pewter and is a 3D model of a Viking longship. It is supplied on a 13cm black wooden pencil with the Viking runic alphabet printed on it in silver.

Information: The longship was the most famous type of Viking boat. It was a long, narrow vessel with a shallow draft, ideal for navigating shallow, rocky coasts and rivers, and had a distinctive curved prow. Longships were designed for speed and were highly manoeuvrable, so they were used for both trade and warfare.

The Viking runic alphabet was based on a series of symbols called runes, which were carved into stone or wood and used for a variety of purposes, including communication and divination. Each rune had a specific meaning and represented a specific sound or concept.
