Maybe. Or maybe it is just something that Viking raiders found attractive when they were pillaging Christian lands circa 900 ad.

WOW
Look at the detail...
To: Red Badger

I just see a primitive man with his arms out stretched.
I dont see how this can be considered a crucifix at all.

Look at the fingers, they appear to be nailed to a board.

I agree. That is not a Crucifix.

The dates are all messed up. 1,100 years ago, or 10th century BCE?? Surely they meant AD?

Hey, there IS a reason some of the most beautiful women in the world come from countries which produced the vikings. They knew how to cherry-pick in more ways than one. :->

It is stated that Leif Ericsson was Christian, when he sailed to Canada, in the year 1,000 AD.
To: Red Badger
Doesn’t look much like a crucifix to me. The figure is so stylized, it is hard to even say it is meant to be human. The only resemblance I see to the typical Christian iconography is the cross shape and the posture, but it could just as well be an idol of something with outstretched arms as a depiction of a man on a crucifix.
If it is a crucifix, it must be an early one made by local craftsmen, because by that time, Christian iconography following the normal traditions would look much different than this.
To: MNJohnnie
And/Or, found the message given by the one who was wearing it attractive — a case of private evangelism. Denmark might have had to wait until later to get missionaries, though. I’d be more curious about bible fragments found in Denmark.

1,100 years ago was 916 A.D.
