94 graves in Birka, 61 are men, 22 are women, 11 unknown [ARWIDSSON 1984:p.19-20]. Larger ones are generally men, smaller ones more likely women. Small silver with turned up ends are generally from women’s graves.
Thalin has put forward the hypothesis that the large penannulars with animal heads, face masks and a faceted terminal (bj.855) are seem to have a connection to swords found in the graves. It suggests that the penannular might be part of the swords hanging arrangement. [ARWIDSSON 1984:p.21]
