NAS GARRAS DAS SERPENTES: UM ESTUDO ICONOLÓGICO DA PEDRA RÚNICA U 629
Abstract
This paper aimed to analyze the symbolism of the snake found in the runestone U 629, located in Sweden. In this monument is the intriguing representation of two snakes holding people by the heads. Although the image of snakes is common in runestones, the example of U 629 is unique in that it shows this context. Therefore, we carried out a study of symbolism to try to understand what that image could have meant. We used the archaeological method of Bahn and Renfrew (2012) and scholars of Symbology. In the end, we arrived at four hypotheses about it.
