More about this painting
ART GALLERY / Translated from French / To stay in the runic iconography, following my previous P152 table, here is a variation of a medal bracteate Funen. A bracteate from the Latin "bract" is a thin piece of metal. The print, struck by stamping on one side on a very thin metal blank is embossed on the front and recessed on the underside. The term is used for both currencies for the medals. The pattern is always central and circular, sometimes abstract to our understanding. The bracteate is almost always surrounded by a mesh drawstring or a series of zigzag strips delicately carved. These jewels were manufactured primarily in northern Europe, especially during the migration period we call the great invasions, or the Iron Age Germanic (Sweden this includes the Vendel era), but the name is also used to produce parts later, silver produced in Central Europe in the early Middle Ages. It also describes parts of the neighboring Huns and the Huns invaded India, in the style of Gupta and Roman coins. Their production has exceeded 150 years between the late fifth century and the middle of the seventh, after the great influx of gold continued to sacks of Rome, by the Visigoths from 410 and that of 455 by the Vandals. Their model was undoubtedly offered by gold medallions struck the Roman emperors of the fourth century. However the evolution of the figures move away quickly from the Roman model and restructured according to an aesthetic extremely confusing, perhaps related to Norse mythology, but it also seems imaginary? Even the runic inscriptions on some medals appear to have no meaning except magic words? The bracteates are often taken for amulets, some served as obole to Charon, placed in the mouth of death! Regarding currencies bracteates no runic legend does not transcribed or translated in any way the coin legends in Latin, proof that the Norse did not attach any interest within the meaning of these, but only in their material aspect. Despite their appearance “monétiforme” the bracteates seem runic absolutely independent currency which appears only 4 centuries later! If the rider represented in the center of this picture is the goddess Freyja, is that you only need the imagination of your favorite artist? Freyja was the daughter of Njörd and sister of Freyr. Freyja was a goddess living in Asgard Vane. She was one of the most popular goddesses of the pantheon Scandinavian goddess of love and beauty, but also of the earth, fertility and war. It is for this reason that Freyja was considered the first of the Valkyries, and was entitled to half the men died in battle, Odin before settling for the rest. Freyja always wore around his neck the collar of Brisingar, a magical jewel forged by the Dwarves. Then she had the neck, no one could resist her charms, humans or gods (though she did not need the necklace to please the Giants, who were very likely to want to marry him.). This necklace also had the power to give victory to the army that the goddess had decided to support on the battlefield. One day the necklace was stolen Brisingar by the god Loki. When she noticed the disappearance of her jewelry, she went looking for the robber, riding his chariot drawn by two cats. During this quest, she was assisted by the god Heimdall, and together they eventually find Loki. Then they ended up finding the thief was none other than Loki turned into a seal. Heimdall turns her seal and also attacked. After the confrontation, Loki was defeated, and returned the necklace to Freyja Brisingar. I know that this is all a bit confusing to those who know little or civilization and Nordic legends, but do not you find many similarities with other legends including some millennia? And let's not forget that the people of Scandinavian origin gave the names of these gods in the days of the week: Tyr was celebrated on Tuesday (in England, Tyre became TYG, who gave birth Tuesday.) Odin was celebrated on Wednesday (now Woden or Wotan, who gave birth Wednesday.) Thor was celebrated on Thursday (Thunor gave Thursday.) and to conclude: Freyja was celebrated on Friday, where Friday! And why would not you not Friday the day of love?
