Óðinn's gold ring that dripped eight equal rings every ninth night.
Draupnir was forged by the master dwarves Brokkr and Sindri at Loki's behest and presented to Óðinn as one of three divine treasures. Every ninth night the ring dripped eight new rings of equal weight and value.
The ring was placed on Baldr's funeral pyre at his burial and returned from Hel by Baldr as a gift to his father. It symbolises cyclical fertility and divine abundance.
