Seeland-II-C (Sjælland bracteate 2) is a Scandinavian bracteate from Zealand, Denmark, that has been dated to the Migration period (around 500 AD). The bracteate bears an Elder Futhark inscription which reads as: :''hariuha haitika : farauisa : gibu auja : ttt'' The final ''ttt'' is a triple-stacked Tiwaz rune. This use of the rune is often interpreted as three invocations of the Norse pagan god Tyr. The central image shows a male's head above a quadruped. This is the defining characteristic of C-bracteates (of which some 400 specimens survive), and is often interpreted as a depiction of the god Odin healing his horse. Krause translates the inscription as: "Hariuha I am called: the dangerous knowledgeable one: I give chance."〔Krause, W. (1971). ''Die Sprache der Urnordischen Runeninschriften''. ISBN 3-533-02179-3.〕 ''farauisa'' is interpreted as ''fara-uisa'', either "danger-wise" or "travel-wise". Moltke translates this word as "one who is wise about dangers".〔Moltke, Erik (1976). ''Runerne i Danmark og deres Oprindelse''. ISBN 87-553-0426-5. Published in English as ''Runes and their Origin: Denmark and Elsewhere''.〕 The giving of "chance" or "luck" in the inscription is evidence of the use of bracteates as amulets. ==See also== *Merseburg Incantations *Vadstena bracteate 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Seeland-II-C」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
