Description

Clip of Einar Selvik performing skaldic poetry from Ragnars saga loðbrókar ok sona hans. This lyre is a replica of a lyre found in Kravik, Numedal in Norway dating to the 13th century. 
http://www.worldtreeproject.org/document/2278 Performed during the Old Norse Poetry in Performance (ONPIP) Conference at Somerville College, Oxford on Friday 24 June 2016. Though fragments of stringed-instruments have been found from Viking-Age Scandinavia, most lyres are based on the well-preserved Anglo-Saxon Sutton Hoo find.
