The early 1900s caption reads: "The bondswoman and Olaf her son sat in the morning sunshine—son of Hoskuld." Olaf the Peacock or Olaf (c. 938–1006) was a merchant and chieftain of the early Icelandic Commonwealth, who was nicknamed "the Peacock" because of his proud bearing and magnificent wardrobe. Olaf was the son of Hoskuld Dala-Kollsson, a chieftain who lived in the Laxardal region, and of a slave woman. Olaf and slave woman are pictured here.
