Bracteates like this were worn by Germanic peoples as protective charms and symbols of status. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vadstena bracteate features the image of a human head riding on the back of an animal with a bird above it, surrounded by a runic inscription in the Elder Futhark commonly translated as:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"I am called Hariuha, knowing misfortune I bring good luck.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany scholars believe this amulet may have been given as a reward to a warrior or leader.
