The torque is decorated with Hugin and Munin, the ravens of the Norse supreme god Odin.
Hugin and Munin, whose names mean "thoughts" and "memories", are Odin's messengers in Norse mythology. They fly around the world every day, collecting information that helps Odin maintain his power and knowledge. These ravens represent wisdom, insight and the power of knowledge, and they play a crucial role in mythology by keeping the gods informed of everything that is happening in the world.
In the Viking Age, torques, the heavy neck rings, were not only jewelry but also status symbols, worn by warriors, kings and dignitaries. They served as an expression of power and prestige.
