And this was not a practical choice. The \u003cem\u003eLandnámabók\u003c\/em\u003e reports a provision attributed to the oldest Icelandic law, the \u003cem\u003eÚlfljótslög\u003c\/em\u003e: no one was to approach the island with a \u003cstrong\u003egaping maw or a threatening figurehead\u003c\/strong\u003e, under penalty of frightening the \u003cem\u003elandvættir\u003c\/em\u003e, the guardian spirits of the land. The carved head was therefore removed before docking and only put back on when departing. A figurehead was not just a decoration: it was a statement of intent, and the law regulated its use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo explore further, our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/chopes-mugs-tasses-vikings\"\u003etankards collection\u003c\/a\u003e gathers other models, and our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/mugs-cornes-vikings\"\u003edrinking horns\u003c\/a\u003e offer the form that the North truly used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the same category\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/chope-viking-crane-casque-cornu-bleue-400ml\"\u003eViking Skull Tankard with Horned Helmet: Blue, 400 ml\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Le Comptoir Viking","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57918635573630,"sku":"LCV-CHOPE-CHOPEVIKINGLATTESBOISANSEDRAGO","price":54.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/0569\/8430\/files\/chope-viking-lattes-bois-anse-dragon-400ml-ambiance.jpg?v=1787747449","url":"https:\/\/www.le-comptoir-viking.fr\/en\/products\/chope-viking-lattes-bois-anse-dragon-400ml","provider":"Le Comptoir Viking","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
