===Other=== If the images on the [[Tullstorp Runestone]] are correctly identified as depicting [[Ragnarök]], then Fenrir is shown above the ship [[Naglfar]].<ref>Merrony (2004:136); Crumlin-Pedersen & Thye (1995:170).</ref> [[Meyer Schapiro]] theorizes a connection between the "[[Hellmouth|Hell Mouth]]" that appears in medieval Christian iconography and Fenrir. According to Schapiro, "the Anglo-Saxon taste for the Hell Mouth was perhaps influenced by the northern pagan myth of the Crack of Doom and the battle with the wolf, who devoured Odin."<ref name=SCHAPIRO211>Schapiro (1942:211).</ref> Scholars propose that a variety of objects from the archaeological record depict Týr. For example, a [[Migration Period]] gold [[bracteate]] from [[Trollhättan]], Sweden, features a person receiving a bite on the hand from a beast, which may depict Týr and Fenrir.<ref name="TYR-FENRIR-BRACTEATE">See discussion in, for example, Davidson (1993:39–41).</ref> A Viking Age [[Hogback (sculpture)|hogback]] in [[Sockburn]], [[County Durham]], [[North East England]] may depict Týr and Fenrir.<ref name="MCKINNELL-2005-16">McKinnell (2005:16).</ref>
