The Funeral of a Viking.
This is Frank Bernard Dicksee’s classic 1893 painting of a dead viking burning on a boat being pushed to sea. It’s now displayed at the Manchester Art Gallery.

Nagelfar is a very creepy ship of death and destruction. It’s also quite literally made of dead peoples’ toenails. And make matters worse, it’s captained by Loki (or maybe the evil giant Hrym). #wyrdwednesday

Some exterior wall decorations are just better than others.
This one lurks in the courtyard of Gotlands Museum’s Fornsal in Visby. The horse and rider are inspired by imagery on the best known of the Hunninge picture stones housed in the museum.
