The «Berserkr 2.0» T-shirt

This image on the T-shirt is a famous bronze plate from Torslunda, found on the island of Öland, Sweden. It dates back to the late Scandinavian Iron Age, approximately the 6th–7th centuries AD, and is linked to the Germanic Vendel culture — the artistic and warrior tradition that later influenced Viking Age art.

In this scene:

  • On the left, a warrior is depicted kneeling, wearing a horned helmet (with a decorative element on top that may symbolize divine or ritual significance). He holds a spear.

  • On the right, a figure is wearing what looks like a wolf or bear skin — representing a berserker or ulfhednar (“wolf-coat warrior”), legendary fighters who, according to Norse sagas, wore animal skins and entered a trance-like battle fury.

This bronze plate is especially interesting because it visually captures a ritual, symbolic act, or initiation linked to elite warrior cults in early Norse society.
