Denmark Unveils Smiling Figurine Thought to be Viking 'Portrait'
The Freeman
|October 16, 2025
Denmark's National Museum has unveiled what it described as the first “portrait” of a Viking: a miniature 10th-century figurine depicting a man with an imperial moustache, braided beard and neatly-groomed hairstyle.
-
Carved out of ivory walrus tusk, the partially damaged representation of a head and torso measures just 1.2 inches.
“If you think of Vikings as savage or wild, this figure is proving the opposite, actually. He is very well-groomed,” curator Peter Pentz said, holding up the piece with white-gloved hands.
“He has a center parting up to the top of his head, and then in the neck his hair is cut,” Pentz said.
He has a side wave that leaves the ear visible, and, in addition to a large moustache and a long, braided goatee, he also has sideburns.

BBM weaponizing the ombudsman?
If the nation takes the words of such trapos as Senators Imee Marcos, Bato de la Rosa, or Rodante Marcoleta, we would be led to believe the appointment of Jesus Crispin Remulla as ombudsman would foment political instability.
