Bronze Animals from Uppåkra – Archaeological Artifact Print
This print features a collection of bronze animal figurines discovered at Uppåkra, a major Iron Age settlement in southern Sweden. Dating from the Migration Period (circa 5th–6th century AD), these artifacts reflect the symbolic and artistic traditions of early Scandinavian society.
The figurines depict a variety of animals, including birds, horses, and what may be a boar. Such representations held significant cultural and symbolic meaning in Iron Age Scandinavia. Horses, for example, were associated with status, mobility, and the divine, while birds often symbolized communication with the spiritual world. Boars, on the other hand, were symbols of strength and protection, frequently appearing in warrior iconography.
These small objects may have served as decorative mounts, amulets, or votive offerings, suggesting their role in both daily life and ritual practice. Their stylistic features, including simplified forms and engraved details, are characteristic of the period’s art, where animal motifs played a central role.
Printed on high-quality archival paper, this reproduction faithfully presents the texture and patina of these ancient objects. Suitable for educational environments, offices, or private collections, the print offers a visual connection to the material culture and beliefs of Iron Age Scandinavia.
