No horned helmet has ever been found in a Scandinavian grave from the Viking Age: the only known complete helmet, the Gjermundbu helmet in Norway, is a simple iron bowl with spectacle guards, without the slightest horn. The image comes from costumes designed by Carl Emil Doepler for the premiere of Wagner's \u003ci\u003eThe Ring of the Nibelung\u003c\/i\u003e in 1876. This horned skull therefore belongs to the romantic and gothic imagination, not to archaeology — and it is no less beautiful for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e📖 \u003cstrong\u003eTo learn more:\u003c\/strong\u003e Discover \u003ca href=\"\/en\/blogs\/news\/berserkers-guerriers-fous-odin-vikings\" title=\"Berserkers: Odin's Mad Warriors\"\u003eour article on berserkers\u003c\/a\u003e, warriors whose imagery fueled the same fantasies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e♦ Complete Your Viking Collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscover other Viking accessories you might like:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/boucles-oreilles-crane-puces-acier\" title=\"Skull Earrings — Steel Studs\"\u003eSkull Earrings — Steel Studs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/boucles-oreilles-cranes-creoles-acier\" title=\"Skull Earrings — Steel Hoop Earrings\"\u003eSkull Earrings — Steel Hoop Earrings\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/boucles-oreilles-croix-gothique-pendantes-acier\" title=\"Gothic Cross Earrings — Steel Drop Earrings\"\u003eGothic Cross Earrings — Steel Drop Earrings\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Le Comptoir Viking","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57869016662398,"sku":"LCV-BO-004-1","price":14.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/0569\/8430\/files\/boucles-oreilles-crane-cornu-puces-acier-ambiance.jpg?v=1787165122","url":"https:\/\/www.le-comptoir-viking.fr\/en\/products\/boucles-oreilles-crane-cornu-puces-acier","provider":"Le Comptoir Viking","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
