Vendel helm, bronze crest in the shape of a bird or a dragon. Once it belonged to a man from a powerful dynasty, dated to the 7th century. He was buried in a boat with his valuable possessions around him; weapons, tools, cooking utensils and provisions for banquets as well as 3 dogs & 3 horses. The buried man was one in a long succession line of rulers in the dynasty; they all were buried in the same way. Some believe they wanted to express a warrior ideal in death, related to the god of Odin.
