Summary[edit]

Description
Svenska: Detalj av den "fågelbehornade" hjälmen som vapendansaren bär på en av de fyra hjälmbleckspatriserna från Björnhovda, Torslunda socken, Algutsrums härad, Mörbylånga kommun, Öland, Kalmar län, Sverige. Frilagd detalj av träsnittet figur 39 på sidan 90 i Kongl. Vitterhets Historie och Antiqvitets Akademiens Månadsblad (1872). Liknande avbildningar av behornade hjämar där hornen slutar i fågelhuvuden är kända från Ekhammar i Upplands-Bro kommun och Sutton Hoo i England. En tolkning är att det skulle föreställa den nordiske guden Oden med sina två korpar sittande på huvudet.
English: Detail of the "bird-horned" helmet worn by the weapon dancer at one of the four helmet plate patrices from Björnhovda, Torslunda parish, Algutsrum hundred, Mörbylånga municipality, Öland, Kalmar län, Sweden. Detail from the woodcut figure 39 at page 90 in Kongl. Vitterhets Historie och Antiqvitets Akademiens Månadsblad (1872). Similar art showing horned helmets, with the horns ending in birdheads, are known from Sutton Hoo in England and Ekhammar in Upplands-Bro municipality. One interpretation is that it is the Norse god Odin with his two ravens sitting on his head.
