Drinking cup

Guksi (drinking cup) of curly birch. Found together with a spoon, a bowl, and a ladle which were by the eastern stern part of the boat. This placement, together with the fact of them being household objects, suggests that they were used at a burial ceremony. For reasons of space we have chosen to place the objects inside the boat. Grave find, Årby, Rasbokil Parish, Uppland.
