Violence and beauty are inseparable from Viking culture. The Vikings were portrayed as wild and brutal raiders, but the pages of this book reveal a more complex society, a society of pioneering explorers and skilled craftsmen who managed to create an extensive trade network. The book brings together 200 amazing artifacts of the XNUMXth-XNUMXth centuries, which introduce the reader to the art, crafts and life of Europe and the North Atlantic of the Viking Age. Here you can find both objects that have become truly iconic, as well as relatively recent finds by archaeologists. All this makes the book an excellent guide to Scandinavia in the Early Middle Ages. Among the exhibits are the famous burial boats from Norway, the only surviving complete Viking helmet, as well as treasures taken from the monasteries of Britain, Ireland and continental Europe. Equally important are the attributes of everyday life: a leather bag, a cotton sock, skates made of bone or even bread. As well as an ironing stone for linen clothes, linings for book binding, an amulet in the form of Thor's hammer, a bucket of Buddha and an Easter egg. Each exhibit - from the huge Oseberg boat to the miniature Valkyrie pendant - completes our understanding of this fascinating culture.
