Description
Inspired by real Tjurkö bracteate found in 1817, in Tjurkö, Sweden, bearing Elder Futhark runic inscriptions in Proto-Norse language. This bracteate is dated to the Germanic Iron Age between 400 and 650. It shows a stylized head in the center above a horse and beneath a bird. This iconography is usually interpreted as depicting an early form of the Norse pagan god Odin with his associated animals, a horse and a raven. This pendant is made of brass.
