Freyr Earrings, Bronze

Carefully handmade earrings depicting Freyr, the Viking god. They are based on a find in Rällinge, Sweden. It should be mentioned that a phallic symbol is visible on the figures. Freyr was associated with sacral kingship, virility and prosperity, as well as with sunshine and fair weather, and was pictured as a phallic fertility god. It was said that Freyr "bestows peace and pleasure on mortals".
