Summary

Description
English: The photograph shows two objects: a) the top part of a crosier (bishop's staff) made out of walrus tooth and b) a golden episcopal ring. Both objects were found in a bishop's grave in Igaliku, Garðar, Greenland; ruin group Ø47 of the Eastern Settlement. The skeleton from the grave is carbon-dated to AD 1223–1290. It is likely that of Bishop Óláfr who held the diocese of Garðar from 1246 to 80. This information all derives from the Danish National Museum as published on https://samlinger.natmus.dk/DMR/asset/167953
Date The National Museum gives the date of the photograph as uncertain but sometime in the period between January 1, 1970 and June 3, 2014.
