A fantastic centerpiece on any shelf, table or shrine. The image is a reproduction of a picture stone found at Rikvide burial field in Gotland, Sweden. The original stone is dated to the 5th -7th Century and has two main motifs. The top part has a triskele symbol made from three snake-like creatures with the heads of a bird, a predator and a boar. The lower part has the famous depiction of a woman holding a snake in each hand.
