| Description |
English: Hogback tombstone, St Peter's Church, Heysham (2) This side of the stone tells the story of Sigurd the dragon-slayer. Rather than the horse and lance of St George, Sigurd dug a pit and thrust his sword up into the unprotected belly of the dragon Fafnir from below. He had been advised to dig an escape tunnel and a trench down from the pit so as not to be trapped and drowned in the dragon's blood. This dragon was like a serpent, without legs. Signund's horse Grani is also depicted, and also the tree Yggdrasil, with birds. |
