Woliński „but Widara”. Przyczynek do dyskusji nad relacjami słowiańsko-skandynawskimi we wczesnym średniowieczu; “Vidar’s shoe” from Wolin. A contribution to the discussion on Slavic-Scandinavian relations in the early Middle Ages
Journal Title: Materiały Zachodniopomorskie - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
The article examines an early medieval object interpreted as an amulet: a shoe of the Scandinavian god, Vidar, discovered during archaeological excavations at the Old Town in Wolin. A hypothesis about its relationship with the Norse mythic concepts is subjected to scrutiny. Some features of the artefact may indicate its special role in the social life or beliefs of the population inhabiting the south Baltic coast.
