The Icelandic law code known as the \u003ci\u003eGrágás\u003c\/i\u003e mandated the removal of the figurehead upon approaching the coast, so as not to frighten the \u003ci\u003elandvættir\u003c\/i\u003e, the guardian spirits of the land. A ship arriving in peace would therefore display a bare prow; the carved head was only reattached when setting out on an expedition.
