Winged figures stand either side of a stylised tree, holding a bucket and a cone, doing something to it that scholars have argued about for a hundred and fifty years — fertilising, blessing, tending. Nobody is certain. What is certain is that the tree is at the centre and the kings put it there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe same shape keeps arriving. Yggdrasil holding nine worlds together.
