Most of the originals are carved from walrus ivory and presumably come from Trondheim (Norway), dated 1150-1200 nd.
Most of the figures can now be admired in the British Museum in London, the others are in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.
A warrior sits on a small horse (probably Viking or Icelandic pony) on his right hand he carries a spear and on the left a shield.
The figure is a replica that was modeled on the original.
