- Cover photo description:
- The dragon occupies a prominent position in the ornamental art of the Viking Age. Dragon heads decorate rune stones, fibulae, weapons and churches. `Dreki` is a common name for ship types in the Viking Age; However, contrary to modern adaptations, the dragon has not been archaeologically proven as a pictorial motif on the bow. The dragon is well documented in Germanic literature from the 8th century to modern times, especially in heroic poetry, and occasionally in the Norse skalds. The old English epic Beowulf mentions crawling or flying dragons, which among other things act as guardians of treasures. This golden dragon would have pleased the Vikings.
