God of prosperity and virility
 
Son of Njörðr and brother of Frejya, Freyr lived in Alfheim (land of the elves) and may have been its ruler. He brings peace, pleasure and prosperity to mankind through health, virility and a bountiful harvest. He is depicted here holding his magical ship, Skíðblaðnir, in one hand and an antler in the other. The latter became his favored weapon after giving his magical dancing sword away for love of the giantess, Gerðr.
