Gosforth Cross Víðarr, Magnus Petersen

Gosforth Cross Víðarr, Magnus Petersen

A part of the gosforth cross showing a humanoid figure tear apart the jaws of a monster. Usually interpreted to be víðarr's battle with fenrir at ragnarök. Signed "m petersen" in the upper left corner. It would seem that this is the upper part of the east-facing side of the shaft of the gosforth cross. Date: This reproduction published in 1913. The cross itself is medieval (possibly 10th century)..
