Mask from Hedeby
Archaeological artefact
This mask is one from two exemplars which have been found rolled in a ship discovered in harbour at Hedeby / Haithaby (currently Germany). They have been used as caulking of a hull.
The mask, presented on the photo, has been made of red felt. It is uncertain what species of mammal it represent - dog? sheep? fox? Unknown is also function of this object, it may be used as theatrical implement, ritual item, or element of disguise. Inga Hägg suggested, that Hedeby mask could be connected with berserkers or ulfhéðnar.
This find is a part of the permanent exhibition in the Hedeby Viking Museum / Wikinger Museum Haithabu.
