Title A name given to the resource Pigs Subject The topic of the resource Drawing - Interpretation Description An account of the resource The goddess Freyja rode a wild boar called Hildisvíni and the god Freyr owned one called Gullinbursti. This is a nineteenth-century imaginative recreation of what Freyja might have looked like riding her boar. Pigs were a source of meat in the Viking Age. The domesticated pigs kept by Vikings were descended from the Eurasian Wild Boar and probably resembled wild boar more than modern pigs. The boar was a symbol of protection, appearing as a helmet crest on some pre-Viking Age helmets. While pig bones are common on farm sites, it is not known if they were kept as herds or individually, and their ritual function is unclear. The mythical wild boar Sæhrímnir was the source of food for the Æsir and einherjar, being cooked each day and brought back to life to provide food for the next day.
