Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Five unique Viking Age wooden posts with carved animal heads were discovered in a burial mound near Tønsberg (100 km southwest of Oslo, Norway) in 1904. The find consisted of a Viking ship (the Oseberg Ship), numerous wooden and metal artefacts, textiles and even sacrificed animals used as offerings to the two buried women. The animal-head posts are elaborately decorated with dragon or animal heads and patterns with gripping beasts in the Oseberg Style, an early style of Norse art. Four of the posts are on exhibition at The Viking Ship Museum ("Vikingskipshuset på Bygdøy") in Oslo; the fifth is only in pieces.
