For #FindsFriday a pendant dating to the Viking Age: a woman is pulling her pretzel-like braids. The hair pulling gesture can be compared to the gesture of mourning known from classical antiquity. It’s unknown if there is a connection to the Viking age imagery.It has been suggested that the figurine may depict a Valkyrie or a representation of Freya.
From Tissø. On display at National Museum of Denmark.
