Legend has it that the statue was found in a barn wall on the farm at Skriðuklaustur. The late 15th century statue was originally partly painted in blue and red. In 1950 the National Museum of Iceland purchased the statue from the collection of Pike Ward, who collected it sometime around 1900. The original is kept at the National Museum of Iceland and the replica is kept at the Gunnar Gunnarsson Institute. Orginal: National Museum of Iceland nr: þjms. 14414 St Barbara Statue

Shark Bone Ring
During excavation, over 70 vertebrae from the porbeagle shark, Lamna nasus, were found, nearly all between the Choir and central nave of the Skriðuklaustur Monastery church. Like this seen here, these bones had been worked on and shaped into rings. They are probably the rings on which hung the curtain that church audits described at this location. Physical object held at the National Museum of Iceland nr: 2005-36-0434.
