The 1000 -year -old Viking object reveals how they can design their hair

The hair is separated in the middle, its specialization in the back, with a wavy lock similar to one ear. This is not my favorite hair, but if I am the Viking elite, it may be the case.

This is the result The study was published last month In the Middle Ages Journal in which researchers re -examined the Weeking Games that reaches more than one inch (three centimeters), which dates back more than 1000 years. He was originally discovered between the burial things of Viking fighter in Norway in 1797 and was one of the first things recorded in the National Museum of Denmark. Now, after more than two centuries, Peter Pintz, the coordinator in the museum, discovered the features (re -features) that make the piece really exceptional.

The sample appears as a rare manner for a person – one personality, expression, and somewhat fictional shaving.

“When I encountered in one of our storage rooms a few years ago, I was really surprised – he sat there, looked at me directly, and I did not see this before such a Viking, not in the many years I was in the museum,” Bentz said in A. statement.

Modern hairstyle and shrewd expression

The small statue also contains long -guaranteed goats, a large mustache, and a prescribed, and wears a “shrewd” expression. It is among the museum exhibition on the Vikings era.

Vikings were naval warriors Those who spread from the Scandinavian countries to North America between about 800 and 1050 m. While the art of Vikings includes animals frequently, human pictures are very rare. As such, the piece provides an insight into something equal as limited – Viking hairstyle.

“Until now, we haven’t had any detailed knowledge about Viking hairstyles, but here we get all the details – even a small hammer over the ear,” Bentz said. “This is the first time that we see a male character who abandons his hair visible from all angles. It is unique.”

Of course, the analysis assumes that the manufacturer depicts the typical Viking. But again, why do they give the piece a random haircut? (This is purely speculation, to be clear.)

This piece reminds us of the fame of Malta and much bigger Lady of Sleep The statue of a statue, whose head is also wondered by half -flying archaeologists wondering whether this is what people in the mysterious temple on the Mediterranean Island have designed their hair.

The king of chess

However, “It is useful to have such an acute photography of Viking, and even a three -dimensional image. This is a mini -bust and near what we will reach the Viking image.”

This piece was carved from Walrus Ivory, one of the most prestigious materials in the Vikings era, and it was the most important piece-King-in Hnefatafl, a game also known as Chess-Age. The burial is found on dates to the last half of the tenth century, which means that the piece itself is more than 1000 years old. Harald Bluetooth– A Danish king was famous for unifying Denmark and lending his name for Bluetooth technology – it was distributed during this period, and the burial was within his world.
