Thorskegga has started a series of paintings depicting the gods worshipped by the Anglo-Saxon and Norse settlers in England.
Thrud is one of the valkyries and the daughter of Thor the thunder god. Her name means 'power'.
She is shown here with the swastica, an alternative symbol for Thor's hammer (lightning), the herb Datura or Thornapple, an ox the symbol of strength and a Dragon battle standard.
