Baldr’s Funeral

Title: Baldr’s Funeral
Description: Translation of caption:

“Rides on boar to bale-fire, “Valkyries follow Vidrir,
Battle-glad Freyr, the ruler, victory-proud, and ravens
On bier where Baldr—golden- eager aye for wound-dew.
Bristled his steed—is lying.”(7) Olden tales are told here. (9)
