An unknown man got his axe arm badly injured in a battle. His humerus was found at excavations of Varnhem monastery in 1928, and is the only one of its kind in Sweden.

Yet a medieval “surgeon” has managed to cover the injury to the man’s arm bone, and also pin it with rivets; you can see three of them in the plate. We can also see that the man survived: new bone has been formed after the procedure.

They were known for their warrior culture, and many of their statues depict male warriors wearing helmets, armor, and weapons.The helmet found at the Chingul mound is believed to have belonged to a Polovtsian chieftain.
