From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Setre Comb is a comb from the 6th or early 7th century that has been the subject of an amount of Runological study due to its runic inscription. Discovered in a refuse heap in 1932 in Setre, Norway, the comb features a mixture of Elder Futhark and Younger Futhark characters.[1] The comb is the subject of an amount of scholarly discourse as most experts accept the reading of the Germanic charm word alu and Nanna, though there exists questions as to if the Nanna mentioned is the same figure as the goddess from later attestations.[1]
