Hel/Hela seems to be depicted in numerous bracteates (a type of jewelry) from the Migration Period (fourth to sixth century A.D.), predating her appearances in written texts. Some of them depict her as a woman holding a scepter, and preparing to confront or welcome a horseman who enters her realm. Others depict Hel/Hela greeting the dying Baldr.
