Neil Gaiman was my AP art history teacher. He had a Scandinavian accent.
(Which is weird because I don’t think I’ve ever heard a Scandinavian accent before???)

Stamp Them Out 🐎
Symbols in this piece:
-Sleipnir: Eight-legged horse of Odin
-On the horse's muzzle: Eolhx, part of the runic alphabet. A slashed version is present on the snake
-In the background, Helm of Awe/terror, (Ægishjálmr): Symbolizes power, dominance, and strikes fear into the enemy.
EDIT: the rune on the horse and snake IS NOT a life rune, which is the appropriated n@zi symbol. Thank you to the person who pointed this out. Changes have been made to it's description.

Norse Bronze Matron Set
Inspired by @vroshii's Egtved dress and using the mesh and texture of the disk found on this dress, I have made a version for more matronly sims. Also, a layered necklace, and matching bracelets. Thank you vro for your open TOU!
There are a few swatches for the dress, but they are variations of brown, gray, and white undyed wool. Although the Bronze Age Norsemen had access to materials that could produce dye, there is zero evidence that they actually dyed their clothes before the start of the Iron Age. They were, however, experts at metalsmithing, hence the magnificent jewelry.

Gold Bracteate
Scandinavian
400–600
The manufacture of bracteates probably originated with Roman and Byzantine portrait medallions, presented by the emperor as gifts to important figures. Here, however, the imperial image has been transformed into the depiction of a god, perhaps Odin, chief of Nordic pantheon; his oversize face is balanced atop a galloping horse with horns. With their fine workmanship and allusions to the Roman and Byzantine worlds, gold bracteates conveyed both the sophisticated taste and the high social status of their owners, who wore them as fine jewerly and hoarded them as treasure.
