Around that time, they were depicted being worn by both Norman and Anglo-Saxon warriors on the famous Bayeux Tapestry. Such helmets were used by the Vikings as well as by other Germanic peoples.

An additional advantage was that these helmets could be repaired in the field during military campaigns. This spangenhelm features a conical bowl. The nasal guard is attached over the central and lower metal bands. On top of the nasal guard, decorative eyebrows have been mounted. These eyebrows also serve as reinforcement for this vulnerable part of the helmet. The eyebrow motif derives from a Germanic–Roman tradition, in which semi-ritual facial expressions contributed to the persona or spiritual identity of the wearer. This tradition can be seen as an expression of the pagan warrior class, which associated warfare with ecstatic fury unleashed upon the enemy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1971\" data-end=\"2294\"\u003eThe helmet is battle-ready, lined with leather on the inside, and fitted with a leather suspension system and chin strap.

According to mythology, Odin\/Wodan is the first of kings and master of the Einherjar, the heroic fallen warriors of Valhalla with whom he rides to defeat Ragnarok (total chaos). Objects depicted with Odin\/Wodan can be linked to the aristocracy and warrior class, the Viking Jarls and Karls, and magic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDragons were the mythical variant of the serpent and were included in the earliest myths of modern mankind.

The animal was a dangerous enemy, but was also respected for its cunning, strength, and fury. This relationship led to rituals in which the wolf was central. The koryos ritual is an important expression of this wolf cult. From this developed the Germanic Ulfheðnar, warriors who revered Odin (Wodan) and were known as the \"wolves of Odin.\" In Germanic and Old Norse art, wolves symbolized loyalty, protection, aggression, and strategic insight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOdin is the god of war bands, the úlfhéðnar and berserkers. In the season of the dead (between late October and Yule) he leads the Wild Hunt to restore cosmic balance. This process ensures that the light returns during Yule (the winter solstice), after which the earth becomes fertile again. Many of Odin's characteristics appear in depictions of horned spear dancers, but there is another aspect that connects him to this symbolism. From the Migration period onward, the horns of the spear dancer always end in two ravens. Odin is accompanied by two ravens, Huginn and Muninn, who tell him everything. The horns, an ancient sign of fertility, may have lost their symbolism and meaning around this time. Although they continued to be depicted and remained characteristic of the Odinic spear dancer ritual, the ravens were added to it. The ritual was probably performed by the priestly class. Among Indo-European peoples, the religious and ruling class were roughly the same, with the king serving as high priest.
