ONE-OF-A-KIND scratch-built model of the famous Viking ship Oseberg, 4 feet 4 inches long, 12 inches wide and 30 inches tall in a custom Plexiglas display case. The wooden ship is named the WHITE RAVEN, or “HVIT RAVNR” in Old Norse and took over 300 hours for the master craftsman to build. The cloth sail is hand-stitched and is a circa-correct rendition of a white raven. Authentic Old Norse artwork also decorates the 30 hand-painted shields that line the gunnel rails.
An elaborate dragon’s head accents the bow, with purple and blue colors indicating royalty, as only the richest Vikings had quantities of these dye colors derived from rare shellfish. The gilded wings of the elaborate dragon’s head set off a magnificent ship with hull lines faithful to the Oseberg, and when viewed from the front, the accurate lines of the masterful Viking ship are spectacular. A dragon’s tail completes the classic lines of this artful craft.
The Plexiglas case is 56” L x 16” W x 33” H. The Oseberg model and display case are of strict Museum Quality.
Auction Estimate: $3000 - $6000
History of the Oseberg Burial Ship
The famous Norwegian Viking ship, the Oseberg ship, was built in AD 820, buried in a grave mound 14 years later, and excavated in 1904.
The burial mound consisted of an astonishingly well-preserved Viking ship that contained the remains of two women along with a wide array of accompanying grave goods. This vessel, which is widely celebrated as one of the finest finds of the Viking Age, had been buried within a large mound or haugr.
The burial mound measured approximately 40m long by 6.5m high and it completely covered the boat. The conditions within the mound were particularly damp and this meant that the ship and its contents survived nearly intact. Constructed primarily out of oak planks, the vessel measured 21.40m long by 5.10m wide. Its bow and stern were covered in elaborate carvings, while it contained 15 pairs of oar holes which meant up to 30 men could row the ship as required.
Centrally placed on the ship were the skeletons of two women whose remains had been placed in a specially built wooden tent. One of the woman was in her eighties and this was reflected in the condition of her bones which showed that she had suffered badly from arthritis during her final years. The second woman was younger and had died in her early fifties. The connection between the two women is unclear; it is possible that they were related or more sinisterly represent the remains of a noble woman interred with her sacrificed slave. Indeed, some have speculated that one of the women may be Queen Åsa, the grandmother of Norway’s first king. Radiocarbon analysis of the women’s bones indicated that they died c. 1220±40 and 1230±40.
