"Found in the huge double barrow in which the heathen king Gorm the Old, founder of the Danish monarchy (c. 900-936), and his Christian wife Thyra, were buried side by side at Jelling at Jutland. [...] The cup is of silver, gilt inside, and ornamented with an old half mythological pattern of twisted snakes and fantastic animals."
