Name uses Fornvegr's documented Elder Futhark transliteration; the date uses our symbolic digit cipher (Elder Futhark had no numerals — this convention is ours). The birth day is marked on the summer or winter side automatically.
Proofed by a human before print · Damage replacement · Designed in Norway, made to order · Usually delivered in 5 to 11 business days

A year was once held in the hand, not as a grid of boxes, but as marks cut in wood. The Primstav Birth-Year Tablet sets a single birth date inside a quiet, primstav-inspired annual rhythm: a summer side and a winter side, with the day itself marked in aged bronze.

The date is rendered in the Fornvegr symbolic Elder Futhark digit cipher, and the name in our documented rune transliteration, the same engine behind every Fornvegr piece, so the runes never drift.

Printed on 250 gsm archival matte paper. Made to order.

Primstav-inspired, not a reproduction of a historical primstav. The traditional Norwegian calendar stick marked ordinary days, feast days and the summer/winter turns (summer side from 14 April, winter from 14 October). Fornvegr renders dates using a symbolic Elder Futhark digit cipher; Elder Futhark had no numerals, this convention is ours.
