Mug – Gyda tells you to go home

A variety of mugs with a selection of texts from the rune collection at Bryggens museum.

A variety of mugs with a selection of texts from the rune collection at Bryggens museum. The runes are dated back as early as the 1170s, and are a mix of declarations of love, simple messages and dirty jokes.

We have chosen the evergreen runic inscription «Gyda tells you to go home». Who was Gyda, and who had to go home? The answer to this is not given in the runic inscription, but the text has still fascinated thousands of visitors at the Bryggens Museum. We think it is about time to honor Gyda with her own mug.

This porcelain mug is dishwasher and microwave oven safe.
