[FONT=&quot]A very rare and very tiny [/FONT]chair-amulet from the Viking era[FONT=&quot] has been discovered on the Danish island of Lolland. Metal detectorist Torben Christjansen, whom you might recall from the killer [/FONT]Thor’s Hammer amulet[FONT=&quot] he discovered in 2014, found it in a field near Nybølle on the west side of the island. He had scanned the field before, lured by its black soil which is sometimes and indication of ancient activity, and found 65 objects, but he’d never seen anything like this little piece. Christjansen brought the artifact to Anders Rasmussen, curator at Museum Lolland-Falster, who identified it as a Viking chair-amulet.
