Draupnir
Draupnir is a golden arm ring possessed by Odin, the ruling god of Norse mythology. The ring was a source of endless wealth, since each ninth morning it had spawned eight more gold rings just like itself (but apparently without the spawning ability). Draupnir was forged by the dwarven brothers Brokk and Sindri, sons of Ivaldi. Its name means The Dropper in English.
The ring was placed by Odin on the funeral pyre of his son Baldur:
Odin laid upon the pyre the gold ring called Draupnir; this quality attended it: that every ninth night there fell from it eight gold rings of equal weight. (from the Gylfaginning).
The ring was subsequently retrieved by Hermod. It was offered as a gift by Freyr's servant Skirnir in the wooing of Gerd, which is described in the poem Skirnismal.
Draupnir is also the name of a dwarf, mentioned in the Völuspá, the prophecy of the seeress given to Odin.
