Amber Artifacts – Archaeological Artifact Print
This print presents a selection of amber artifacts recovered from several key archaeological sites: Sandby Borg on Öland, Uppåkra in southern Sweden, and Ingolstad in Denmark. These objects, dating from the Iron Age, include beads and pendants shaped from amber, a prized material in prehistoric and early historic Northern Europe.
Amber, formed from fossilized tree resin, was highly valued for its color, luster, and presumed protective or magical properties. It was used widely in jewelry and as a trade commodity, connecting the Baltic region to long-distance exchange networks across Europe and beyond. The artifacts shown here illustrate the range of forms amber could take, from simple beads to carved pendants, reflecting both everyday use and possible ritual significance.
Each piece in this collection bears traces of its handcrafted origins, with subtle variations in shape and finish. Their survival through centuries offers insight into the aesthetic preferences and cultural practices of Iron Age communities.
Printed on high-quality archival paper, this reproduction captures the warmth and texture of the original amber pieces, making it suitable for educational settings, offices, or private collections interested in archaeological material culture.
