I found this lovely lady when sorting through my old GW lead. She came in one of the old packs of Citadel Norse Warriors. Her shield is lost to the ravages of time, so I will need to scrounge up another. It is from the old plastic sets with a hole in the middle, to make mounting it over the 'spike' easier.
As I recall, her original use was as a 'surrender' token in friendly games. When you surveyed the table and determined your cause was lost, you could just quietly reach over, pick her up and place her in the center of the table facing your victorious opponent. It seemed to make sense in my 20's.
