A ring whorled prow refers to a decorative feature commonly found on ancient wooden ships, particularly in Viking and other Norse maritime cultures. It is characterized by a curved, spiraled design that resembles a whirlpool or spiral pattern, often carved into the front end of the ship, known as the prow. This design not only served an aesthetic purpose but also symbolized power and protection, as it was believed to ward off evil spirits during voyages. The intricate craftsmanship of such prows reflects the artistry and naval engineering skills of the time.
