I'm pretty sure the words are Norwegian. bl?d = blood, og = and, but I can't figure out what the whole phrase means... I wonder if it's something from Norse folklore?  Perhaps Aine would know... I'll email her and ask.
Cheers!

Hi, gosh, it's ages since I've been here  :o
Yes, it's a Nowegian proverb which translates into "Mead and beer give the soul cheer"  :beer:
The literal translation is "Beer and mead soften willpower" but that sounds very negative and that's not the intention of the proverb.
So , it's a drinking vessel. But that's all I know. Good luck!

Lucky punch, Anne! Sorry I haven't been around; we had a crash and burn situation with the computer where everything had to be re-installed and this forum got lost somehow. I'll just pop off and check the Scandinavian bit..

Hi a40ty:  Nice to hear from you, and Glad you understood the wording on there.  I thought it had a bit of Native art to it.

Might it be a Serpent -- like the Loch Ness monster??  Or some Folk Lore Monster ??  That is just my guess....
Every flower that has ever bloomed, had to go through a whole lot of DIRT FIRST......:flowers2:
