NORWAY 14th-20th c.: CALENDAR WITH WEEKDAYS | MS in Norwegian on walrus bone or reindeer horn, Norway, ca. 15th c. CALENDAR WITH WEEKDAYS MS in Norwegian on walrus bone or reindeer horn, Norway, ca. 15th c. 6 ff., 3 x 14 cm, single column (2 x 14 cm), 1 line in runes of the younger Futhark, 93 feastday symbols in a rather early primitive stage, including the 2 St. Olav axes.

Calendar with Weekdays, Feastdays, including the 2 St. Olav Axes.

The 2 St. Olav axes, marking 29 July and 3 August, represent the most conclusive evidence of Norwegian origin. Calendars in book form on bone are of the utmost rarity. This is the only specimen in private hands. Runes are normally used for weekdays and golden numbers in Swedish calendars. In Norway they occur very rarely.

  1. I didn’t think it was legal to sell such artifacts, anyways, it belongs in a museum

  2. We did not use younger futhark runes in the 15th century, so someone spent a shitload of money on some bullshit. Good luck to you.
