In the present form, the inscription is not interpretable. Krause assumes a spelling error of l for t and interprets r(ūnōR) wrītu as "I write (the) runes" (Rune Master's formula), cf. here No. 184.

A Vertical axis defined by an eyelet. I Ruler's head from the left with two snakes in top view and another worm creature in side view. Motif circle: He in the imperial image sequence. II In front of the blowing ruler's face with a broad collar, two snakes and a larger worm creature (Ketos variant?). III Relief figures, beginnings of contour lines. IV Remaining and fine findings in the area of ​​the mouth (5x) and the worm creature (43ax). V 1/2 The mighty head wears a headdress that extends far forward and backward, divided into a diadem in the style of the imperial hairstyle. Upper part consisting of an upright row of rods ending in a dotted border. Beneath the wide-spreading lower part, also upright rods with a dotted border. Oversized, volute-shaped ear. 4 Large eye with "pupil." Long, narrow nose extending from the eye arch. 5x Mouth markings are faint. Small chin. Two lines radiate from the mouth, representing mouth breathing. 6 "Ruff" in line drawing. 43 In front of the mouth and in front of the chin, a snake, viewed from above, with an oval head and coiled tail. 43ax Across from the two snakes, a worm-like creature, of which the oval head and the pear-shaped "hips," twisted together, are clearly visible. Probably a variant of a ketos biting its tail. 51 Unadorned border area around the image field. Clear imprint of the model's edge. 61 Fluted, worn gold wire. 62 Eyelet above the image field, horizontally grooved in the middle section; two heavily worn beads at each end.

I Enthroned female figure in frontal view, a symbol of power in each of her two raised hands. Accessory symbol. Motif circle: The magical goddess on a throne-like seat, here in the most detailed, albeit briskly drawn variant of the so-called Fürstenberg type. II In keeping with Mediterranean precursors, almost uniform imitation capitals surround the seated figure, whose sovereign rank is emphasized by both the seat and the insignia. The lower edge of the image serves as the ground line. III Predominantly relief, only the bars in details such as the hairstyle or the woman's skirt appear as a contour. IV Remains of a neckline of the garment, as well as jewelry on the neck and chest (8x). Fine evidence of the accessory mark (31x). V 1/2 Crown-like hairstyle extending beyond the head outline to the left and right, with radially drawn strands of hair. Diadem echo in line form (cf. the dotted bands in nos. 259 and 389), but with "eyelets" hanging down at the sides, echoes of large pendular beads. No ears. 4 Almond-shaped pair of eyes above strong cheekbones and a wedge-shaped nose. 5 Mouth slit above a narrow chin, which terminates the head triangle at the bottom in an almost pointed shape. 7 The head is depicted without any drawing of the neck, above the torso, of which two full oval breasts and a distinct waistline are visible. 8 The skirt part of the accessible garment is striped lengthwise with contoured bars. 8x Remains of a neckline of the garment above the chest, cf. the demarcation of the "puff sleeves" in No. 259. Clear decoration on the neck and chest, interpretable as a row of bracteates, cf. the variant in No. 391. No. 389 is different with the variation of the dotted belt. 9 Both arms are raised and hold two unequal-length symbols of power with the hands, of which only one is depicted with three fingers and without the outstretched thumb of the griffin formula in No. 389. 10 One insignia is a long, the other a short "turned" staff. The long scepter has a cruciform end with crossbars at the top and bottom ends, which are drawn in a loose and airy manner when applied, but recur in a strict form in the pedantic version of No. 389. The long scepter is held slightly above its center. The short scepter is an echo of the cross-crowned globe in imperial images of Eastern Roman gold coinage and has the cruciform end with crossbars only at the top end and apparently a bowl-shaped base or a gripping knob, on which perhaps the thumb can be seen here, but in No. 389 several fingers. 11/12 Of the legs, only parts of the lower legs and the feet are shown below the long skirt in a side view from the left. 13 Of the seat, only the two posts of its front are reproduced, unlike Nos. 259 and 389, where parts of the crossbar of the seat are also visible. These details of the outer garment are hidden in the right half of the image, while the left half is apparently presented analogously. 30 An isosceles cross with pointed ends. 31x A nine-pointed star, an analogous finding in No. 389. 51/53 The image field was surrounded in the model by two concentric circular rods framing a row of pearls. 61 Grooved wire, attached to the edge. Only very slightly worn. 62 Eyelet missing. 63 Clear model negative. top right - IK 39 No. 39 (Plates 43 - 44) Denmark (X)-B (before 1855). a) For similar models, see a) in No. 51.1. b) Type of find uncertain. c) NatMus Copenhagen, no inventory number. d) Good. e) 26 mm. f) 4.05 gr. g) Original examination by K.

Lange. m) Runes and rune-like symbols in segments 1, 4, and 3. Only the left-to- right rune sequence ï¹ l w x in segment 1 is treated in DRI and KJ. R. 4: no fall rune l (DRI), since the side branch assumed by DRI forms the tip of the bird's beak and also has no connection to the main staff. According to KJ, a "further distorted form" of the eh(w)-form l ("the horse"), cf. here no. 11. Uncertain interpretation. Against DRI in segment 4, no triple t-rune (misinterpreted by Ellmers as "three r-runes"). In segment 3, a sequence of eight capital imitations and isolated rune-like characters can be seen. The complex bears a distant resemblance to the sequence of characters placed in the same location on Skovsborg-B (here no. 165).

A Vertical axis defined by an eyelet. I Two full human figures, partly in frontal, partly in side view from the left, and a third figure opposite from the right, as well as several accompanying animals. Motif circle: Bracteate of the Three Gods. Formerly: Victoria and the Three Angels. II Left figure holds a ring-shaped structure towards the central figure, "next to" which stands a spear bearer. III Relief figures. However, the framing, particularly in two of the three figures and the bird, began with contour lines. IV Remaining and fine findings in the area of ​​the neck of the left figure (cf. 6ax), the costume of the middle and right figures (cf. 8x, 8bx), as well as their hand (cf. 9bx), and the "pedestal" (cf. 12x). V 1 Figure in the center, predominantly in side view from the left, with straggly hair. Schematized ear, missing from the figures to the left and right. 2 Headband, extending from the nose and eyebow, is seen together with a hanging "braid" to which an arrow-like structure is attached. 4 Straight nose extending from the eyebow, with a round eye behind it. 5 Mouth slit. Protruding chin. 6 Neck probably no longer in side view. 7 Torso in front view. 8x Upper part of the costume in a "fishbone" pattern. Contour line perhaps serves a secondary function as a belt. 9 Right arm shortened, with no recognizable hand. Left arm also shortened, probably indicating a hand, possibly also a bracteate raised with the hand, cf. no. 50. 10 In the right "hand" an object with a long, fluted handle and a T-shaped end, the right crossbar of which also has an asymmetrical curve towards the handle. Hanging (?) from the left upper arm is a "sword" with the handle above the ground. 11/12 Right leg is the supporting leg, left leg is the free leg. The left toe is aimed at the "platform floor." Dance position. 13 The figure "stands" on a "pedestal," the front of which is a fluted rod with a cross-shaped end. 13x The "pedestal base" is also fluted. 1a The figure on the left is viewed from the right, facing the middle figure. Stringy hair. The contour of the hairline extends from the nose and eyelid. No ear. 4a Straight nose, with a round eye behind it. 5a Mouth slit. Massive, protruding chin. 6ax Neck marks. 7a Torso in front view. A feathered wing is attached to the shoulder. 7ax Remains of another wing. 8a Torso covering covered with "feathering," with a protruding, "pleated skirt" underneath. 9/10a Branch on the shoulder no longer integrated, as only a severely shortened arm is visible. Hand not clearly visible, possibly "inserted" as a "limb" into the wreath composed of many sections. 11a/12a Legs in side view. Left foot significantly shortened. 1b The figure on the right, like the figure in the center, has predominantly straggly hair when viewed from the left. The hairline is outlined from the nose and eyelid. No ear. 4b Slightly curved nose, with a round eye behind it. 5b Mouth slit. Pointed, protruding chin. 6b/7b Neck and torso seen together in front view. 8bx Belt marks. 9b Right arm shortened, left arm unequally well preserved, fluted. 9bx Hand probably indicated next to the neck. 10b In the left hand, a spear with the point downwards, the shaft end forked. In the right, a club. 11b/12b Legs in side view. Calves with heels emphasized. 36/38 Bird above the right figure in side view from the left with a round head, in the center of which is a round eye. 37 Long, "bent" beak. 39 The wing covers the entire body; only the shoulder is depicted as a small circle. 40 Leg and foot are simplified and incorporated into the outer contour. 43 Below the front foot of the "spear-bearer," a dragon- or worm-like creature. Only the head is shown, an irregularly oval front part divided into upper and lower jaws, with a triangular "eye" behind it; cf. nos. 125 and 165 as well as Sonder Rind, M 6.2, in vol. 2. 43a Behind the head of the left figure, parallel to the edge, a snake-like creature, moving "downward." Head with oval eye, ear, and open mouth. Body coiled, lizard's foot?, tail end "curled." 61 Beaded gold wire. 62 Eyelet with two stronger hoops, each separating or framing two narrower rings. - C./H. bottom left - IK 84 No. 84 (Plates 105-106) Holmsland-C, Nysogn, Hind hd., Ringkøbing a., West Jutland (submitted in 1877). b1) Hoard (?) from a gravel pit. b2) 1 cross-shaped brooch. c) NatMus Copenhagen, Inv.

Richters, H. Lange. A Vertical axis secured by an eyelet. I Human head above quadruped from the right, antithetical bird from the left, accompanying symbol. Motif circle: He and the horse. II Human nose and mouth approximated to the animal's ear (connecting variation Kitnars II-Sletner, Nos. 93 and 171, Fig. 5 VF 4). Head "placed" on the quadruped so that its chin and cheek contours merge with the outer contour of the animal's crest. III Relief figures predominantly framed in single or double contours. IV Remaining and fine features in the hairstyle (2x) and nose (4x), as well as in the bird's head (38x), body, and wings (39x). V 1/2 The head dominates the upper image field. The hatched hairstyle still reflects the late antique imperial hairstyle. The Z-shaped "bulge" behind the ear is reminiscent of the end of a tiara. Large ear with two inner dots, outside the head contour. 2x The group of dots above the forehead is probably a late form of the forehead jewel. 4 Long oval eye with "pupil" and extended eyelids. Eyebow with a widening nose. 4x Two "breathing" lines of different lengths below the nose, see no. 149. 5 The mouth can only be determined by the contours of the nose and chin. Pointed, protruding chin. 14 The large head of the quadruped is lowered. 15 Pointed oval eye with a vertically positioned border. 16 Pointed ear, close to the human nose and mouth. 18 Short muzzle line. 21 Curved neck and crest. Strong chest. 22/24 The chest and belly girths are gathered in a dotted chevron band. 23 Large shoulder oval. Rising torso, at the end of which two hip ovals can be seen "side by side." Three-stranded tail attached to the upper hip. 25/26 One foreleg is stretched forward, the other backward. "Viewed from above," the two hind legs appear stretched out from the animal. Their posture characterizes the Holmsland-Kläggeröd version, Nos. 84 and 96.1 (Fig. 8 BhF 6). 27 Single-contour hooves; only the "hoof" of the forward-stretched foreleg is two-toed. 30 Five-point row under the forelegs (perhaps a late echo of ground lines (?) on precursors, as evidenced by the medallion imitations). 31 Greek cross with dotted ends below the animal's head. 36 Bird in front of the human head. 37 The small head merges into the small, sharply curved beak. 38 Semicircular eye surround. 39 Elongated neck with crossbars. The body, apparently largely concealed by a wing, is compromised by the peripheral rings and appears only faint. 40 Triangular tail. 41 Extended leg with simplified foot. 51 At least one compass puncture hole above the animal's chevron band. Several concentric grooves. 52 "Pearl" seam punched from the back of the bracteate. 61 Fluted gold wire. 62 Wide eyelet with three central bulges, each separated by a narrow ring and framing two further rings. The eyelet shape probably recurs in Tapdrup-D, M 16,16, here in the 3rd volume. - v. P./H.

V 89. l) H. Lange (obverse), or after Atlas with gray ground by H. Lange (reverse). Obverse: A Vertical axis defined by an eyelet. I Human in full form, predominantly in frontal view, accompanying animal with a long snout seen from the right, accessory symbol. Motif circle: The god with his hand in the wolf's mouth (obverse) and the fantasy animal repeated three times (reverse). II The human's left hand in the mouth of the animal, which is half in front of, half beside him, the right hand resting on an object that recurs on Fakse-B, No. 51,1, with the spear-bearer as an accessory symbol. III Relief contours, partly framed by simple contours. IV The contours of the animal are unevenly defined. Reverse: A Vertical axis defined by an eyelet. I Three times a banded being with the gaping jaws of the second most important version of the D-animal in alternating views. Motif circle: see obverse. II The three bodies form an almost equilateral triangle, the three heads each shown with their mouths open above the nearest neighboring hip. III The long bodies are almost entirely framed by contours, while these are missing from the relief heads. IV Some of the contours are preserved only as residual features. Obverse: V 1/2 The full human figure tilts its head and torso to the side, facing away from the image. This is all the more striking given that its hair extends symmetrically on both sides, ending in similarly shaped curls and tips with a point. No ears. 4 Round eye, strong nose. 5 Small, line-shaped mouth. Cheekbones and chin protrude so that the head outline becomes pear-shaped. 6 Short, narrow neck. 7 Thin, bare torso with two small nipples. 8 The costume consists of a belt and a striped "Scottish skirt." 9 Both forearms are raised, both hands oversized. The right hand, with three fingers and splayed thumb, is shown in a grasping position, the left hand, with four fingers and splayed thumb, in the animal's mouth. 10 In the right hand, a short, stick-like object is shown on the left and right, or above and below, with double knobs, cf. No. 51,1, V 12b. 11 In a side view from the left, both legs appear with prominent calves. 12 Tapered feet and pronounced heels. 30 A dot above each forearm. 43 In a side view from the right, the animal is to the right "next to" the human figure. Round eye. Large, overly long mouth, snapped shut over the human hand; For its type, see No. 71 V 43, No. 74 V 43, and No. 166 V 43b. Small ear attached to the neck contour. 44 Curved neck. Narrow torso. No tail. 45 Foreleg with pear-shaped shoulder, raised forward as if in a leap, long paw with pointed, extended pad. 46 Hindleg with pear-shaped hip and thin, forward-extending lower leg. Triangular paw due to contour or remnant of stance line(?). 61 Fluted gold wire. 62 The wide, spherical central bulge of the eyelet is decorated with filigree figure-eights. The two shoulders of the eyelet are wrapped in filigree wires and each end with a heavily worn fluted wire. Gold wire hem beaded under the eyelet. - C./H.
