Raven Banner Posters and Art Prints

A black and white illustration of the old Norse symbol, the raven banner.

This block print shirt design is based on a probable Viking raven flag. The raven is a symbol closely associated with Odin-- having two ravens named Huginn and Muninn-- and was further associated with war since Odin is the god of war. It's said that the sons of Ragnar Lothbrok in the Great Heathen Army flew a raven banner as well as other viking figures throughout history. I've recreated the image as a block print in my own style following some historical examples then printed and scanned it to make this shirt!

The raven banner was flown by various Viking chieftains. The flag, as depicted in Norse artwork, was roughly triangular, with a rounded outside edge on which there hung a series of tabs or tassels. The raven was a symbol of Odin, who was often depicted accompanied by two ravens named Huginn and Muninn, so the raven banner likely conferred Odin's protection. The banner is accompanied here by a quote from the Saga of Harald Hardrada.
