Echoes of the past

Whilst walking across the dunes this morning we came across this primitive yet enigmatic iron figurine. After discussion with an archaeology friend I have come to the conclusion that it is, without doubt, an antiquity of ritual significance, probably a representation of Fenrir, also called Fenrisúlfr, the monstrous wolf of Norse mythology. Presumably lost by some passing Viking band of brothers.

Mts T on the other hand thinks that it is a rusted bit of the wall of scaffolding poles that was built on the beach in 1940 in anticipation of a Nazi invasion. What a silly idea!

What great fun this do-it-yourself archaeology, for amateurs and dreamers, is!
