The “sun-wagon” from Trundholm in north Zealand, dating to a little after the middle of
the Second Millennium, is one of the prized possessions of the Danish national museum.
It represents the sun’s disc drawn by a horse, both mounted on a six-wheeled cart, and
is of bronze, though much of the sheet-gold covering of the solar disc is preserved. A
little over two feet long, it is undoubtedly a model, constructed as an offering, of the
image and wagon drawn in religious processions connected with the sun-worship of
Bronze Age Europe.
