EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving showcases the Gnistad Bronzes, a collection of Viking runes dating back to the 1820s-30s. The intricate illustration depicts these ancient artifacts believed to possess magical properties and ritual significance. The image takes us on a journey through time, offering a glimpse into the rich iconography and pagan traditions of Norse culture. Each tombstone-like bronze is adorned with enigmatic inscriptions, hinting at the mystical practices and beliefs of those who once held them dear. Giulio Ferrario's Costumi dei. . . publication from Rome in the early 19th century serves as the source for this remarkable artwork. It beautifully captures not only the physicality but also the spiritual essence of these rune-laden treasures. As we explore this print, we are transported to an era where script was more than just words; it was a conduit between mortals and gods. The delicate engravings bring life to each artifact, revealing their importance within Viking society. The Gnistad Bronzes stand as testament to our human fascination with ancient cultures and their rituals. This mesmerizing engraving allows us to appreciate both their artistic beauty and historical value while igniting our curiosity about these mysterious relics from centuries past.
