Nott riding Hrimfaxi

    Caption: Nott riding Hrimfaxi.

    Nott is the goddess of night in Norse mythology. Hrimfaxi is her horse. She also has---as a Renaissance intrusion---a cherub (in the sense of putto).

    Nott, night---you get it---you see you understand Old Norse when you really, really try. Indo-European languages are all pretty much the same thing.
