But one item stands out among the crossbow arrows, beer taps, and cookware—a 15th century “testicle dagger” whose name makes sense once you see its design. Credit: Marcus Andersson / Arkeologerna, SHMThen there’s the testicle dagger. As Arkeonews explains, many experts believe its wielder wore their dagger “in a manner befitting its suggestive shape.” But aside from its explicit imagery, the testicle dagger likely served its owner beyond pure ornamentation. Combined with the other, less-phallic weapon artifacts, the testicle dagger helps to better contextualize life at the frequently besieged Gullberg Castle and later Westrogothic Lion redoubt. With excavations largely complete, the fortress artifacts (yes, including the dagger) are currently on display at the Historical Museum in Stockholm through January 2026.
