Reproduction Goblet

Jelling Goblet (silver plated) A small, silver goblet with twisting animal-like ornaments which has given name to the "Jelling Style." The goblet was found in 1820 in a plundered wooden burial chamber in the northernmost of the two burial mounds in Jelling, which was erected by the King, Gorm the Elder, for his queen, Thyra Danebod. The goblet is a chalice from the late Viking Age and as such has been carried by Christian missionaries in pagan Northern Europe. However the goblet is manufactured in the North, which indicates that it must have belonged to one of the first missionaries in Denmark. The original is displayed at the National Museum.
