Valknut Beard Ring, Bronze

A large beard ring in bronze with a Valknut design and the Elder Futhark runic alphabet.

The Valknut (warrior’s knot) is an ancient symbol that appears on runestones as early on as the 8th century. It is associated with the god Odin and symbolizes his power to lay bonds upon the mind, turning men helpless in battle, or making them fearless and filled with battle-madness, intoxication and inspiration.
