The Discovery in Nackhälle

This fantastic shield was found in Nackhälle, Spannarps parish in Varberg, Sweden in 1865. The shield is adorned with beautiful sirats, one of which is perceived to be fifteen swans. It’s dated to the younger Bronze Age through these types of ornaments and is truly an unusual find if you ask me.

The shield belonges to a group of splendor shields manufactured in eastern Germany, the so-called Herzprung shields. These was at first unknown until year 1985, when shields belonging to this group were found in Denmark and Ireland. But the same year, a finding of at least fourteen shields was made in Sweden, the Fröslunda shields. These had several similarites to the Herzsprung shields but also the one found in Nackhälle. This discovery inspired to a after study in 1990 of the Nackhälle shield, over a hundred years later the discovery was made.
