Hi

Your artifacts look like souvenirs from Norway.
From what I can see on the goblet, Borgund stave church is pictured.

The woman with the horn is maybe Prillar Guri:

The little long ship has also Norge (Norway) written on it.

In any case, Norwegian and Icelandic culture are closely related, I would say.
Being Norwegian myself, I take your fascination of our culture as a compliment, thank you

 

Thanks for the clarification and the additional information. I originally thought the cultures were similar but not identical and then I was reading the book. The book goes right in to talking about Iceland, so then I thought they were the same.

 

I think they look great no matter what LOL

 

Those are some cool finds. :thumb:

 

Hi Noost That a really cool cup.

 

Thanks everyone!

 

Remember the Irish were there first !!!!! Ripley )
