WODAN IN WIJNALDUM: DE DUBBELZINNIGE, ICONOLOGISCHE BOODSCHAPPEN VAN DE BEUGELSCHIJFFIBULA VAN WIJNALDUM-TJITSMA (FR.)
Samenvatting
The iconography of the great disc-on-bow brooch from Wijnaldum reveals connections with the veneration of the pagan deity Wodan. The god is rendered stylistically on its footplate, besides animals and symbols which had a sacral meaning within the cult. The discussion touches upon the symbolic and ritual significance of the disc-on-bow brooches, which were an attribute of the goddess Freyja.
