Despite their prevalence in sagas, depictions of valkyries are relatively rare. They are limited to Swedish pictorial stones dating back to about 700 AD and a handful of early Viking fibuls (brooches) from Sweden and Denmark. So this three-dimensional representation is unique.
The Valkyrie is wearing a long patterned dress, carrying a two-edged Viking sword in her right hand and a shield protecting her body in her left. It dates from around 800 AD.
The figurine was found near an archeological site known to be a metalworking. We're lucky she didn't get far.
This replica is made of bone. You can tie it to a string, use it as a figurine in a hnefatafl game or just give it a place of honor on your altar.
The Valkyries take the fallen warriors to Valhalla - the hall of heroes, where Odin gathers warriors for the final battle of the so-called Ragnarök - the end of the World. Here these heroes serve Valkyries at evening receptions.
