[ Description: A vibrantly coloured painting of a pale skinned woman with long dark hair partially worn in braids, blue eyes, and a fierce scowl. She wears a magenta dress beneath a gold-tasseled cyan tabbard which is in turn beneath a scalemail bodice. Over this is a gold-trimmed blue cloak and a wolfhide, a gold-buckled leather sword belt, heavy leather guantlets, and a torc around her neck. She leans on a round wooden shield with her left hand, while her right is on the hilt of a viking long sword. A Viking helmet rests at her feet, while behind her is a cross embedded in embers. ]
It’s by Simon Bisley (I know whoda thunk?). It’s his take on Blenda, a warrior from swedish folklore who led an entire army of women and wiped out a bunch of invading danes.
Thanks, papakielbasa.
