The great banquet hall of the Hólmbyggja is occasionally visited by a powerful Dís, or female spirit. She takes the form of a beautiful winged woman, haloed with honeybees and bearing a jug. All rejoice at her coming, for it means that no man or woman's horn will fail to flow with mead that night. For some reason she is also associated with headaches.
This silver pendant representing the Mead Fairy was sand-cast by Alf Silversmith, and is just over an inch high.
