Staff from Hemdrup
Archaeological artefacts
The Hemdrup staff has been found in a bog at Hemdrup (Næsborg, Jylland, Denmark). It has been made from yew wood and it is 50 cm long. On the staff have been carved depiction of fantastic animals, human's silhouette and triquetra symbol. Moreover, on it have been put two runic inscriptions. First of them, consist of the runes which currently are not deciphered. Second of them has been variously interpreted by specialist (see discussion in Price 2002:202).
Staff from Hemdrup is currently displayed in the 'vǫlva cottage', on the permanent exhibition devoted to the Viking Age in the Moesgård Museum, Denmark.
