Viking earrings with the Odin of Uppland.
Here you can buy a pair of small Viking earrings showing the so-called Odin of Uppland, a warrior depiction with a sword and two throwing spears.
The Viking earrings are modelled on an
Odin amulet, also known as a weapon dancer, that dates to the Vendel period or early Viking Age.
Link to the historical find...
The Weapon Dancer amulet was found in a Viking Age
woman's burial in Uppland, Sweden, so a use as Viking earrings is not that far off.
You can buy the Viking earrings in
bronze and also in real
silver-plated.
Viking earring
dimensions: 4.5 x 1.8 cm including ear hooks.
The Viking earrings are supplied
as a pair.
The "horned" helmet on the head of the
Weapon Dancer of Uppland is typical of Odin's representation and can be found in this form on various depictions from the Vendel and Viking periods.
However, it is not a horned helmet, but a
bird-shaped headdress that refers to the two ravens Hugin and Munin, which are assigned to Odin as attributes.
Strikingly similar to the Odin of Uppland are the weapon dancer illustrations of the famous
Sutton Hoo helmet, who are also shown with bird horns, sword and throwing spears.
