Trundholm sun chariot
The Trundholm sun chariot (Danish: Solvognen) is a Nordic Bronze Age artifact discovered in Denmark. It is a representation of the sun chariot, a bronze statue of a horse and a large bronze disk, which are placed on a device with spoked wheels. The sculpture was discovered with no accompanying objects in 1902 in a peat bog on the Trundholm moor in Odsherred in the northwestern part of Zealand, (approximately 55°55′N 11°37′E). In 1998, archaeologists and metal detectorists returned to the original site and recovered 21 additional parts of the Sun Chariot, including wheels and spokes. It is now in the collection of the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen. It is featured on the 1,000-krone banknote of the 2009 series.
