This piece depicts the Ljósálfar (Light Elves), a type of demigod-like beings associated with the mythology and religion of the Norse and Germanic peoples. Such elves are described as luminous beings “fairer than the sun to look at” within chapter 17 of Gylfaginning in the Prose Edda. Also associated with luring dance as a common motif from old Scandinavian ballads. Elves in folklore have persisted in places such as Scotland, Iceland, and Scandinavia. Iceland’s Huldufólk (hidden people), for example, associated with the land such as that of hills, mounds, and rock formations.
