Extremely fine condition. Extremely rare. Found Suffolk, UK. Published in Hammond, B. British Artefacts vol.1 - Early Anglo-Saxon, Witham, 2009, fig.1.1.4.1-l. Accompanied by an Art Loss Register certificate. The staring male face on the footplate, with fierce eyes and prominent moustache, probably represents a divinity such as the thunder-god, Thunor (later Thor). The god of thunder, lightning, storms, oak trees, strength, the protector of mankind, and also hallowing, healing and fertility, probably has his origins in the pre-Roman Germanic religion, where a god with similar attributes, but whose name is not known to us, is identified with Hercules by the Romans. During the Migration Period a deity under the name of Donar appears on jewellery and inscriptions, and Christian chronicles speak of a sacred oak tree of Donar in Germany that was felled by missionary, Saint Boniface. It is in the Viking Period that Thor becomes the pre-eminent deity of the Scandinavian countries. He had the central place at the great temple in Uppsala, Sweden, with Odin and Freyr to either side of him. His main symbol is the hammer, which is likely to be derived from the club of Donar. The raven is sacred to Odin and their presence on this brooch was possibly to evoke the protection of both gods.
