Warriors would often place images of Gullinbursti on their weapon, helmets and shields.
Gullinbursti was probably more a symbol of luck than protection. Freyr was a god of abundance, and may have been called on to reward warriors with copious booty. Gullinbursti may also have been a symbol of courage, as boars are notoriously fierce.
Freyr was one of the most widely and passionately venerated divinities amongst the heathen Norse and other Germanic peoples. One Old Norse poem calls him “the foremost of the gods” and “hated by none.” The reasons for this aren’t hard to understand; their well-being and prosperity depended on his benevolence, which particularly manifested itself in sexual and ecological fertility, bountiful harvests, wealth, and peace. His role in providing health and abundance was often symbolized by his fylgja, the boar Gullinborsti (“Golden-Bristled”), and by his enormous, erect phallus.

The golden boar Gullinbursti, which belonged to the god Freyr, was both a beast and a treasure, and the fylgia of the god Freyr.
Freyr: God of Fertility and Virility.
Gullinbursti was one of the six treasures procured by Loki from the dwarves in the aftermath of a prank he played that involved cutting off the beautiful golden hair of Sif, the wife of Thor. More than simply cutting her hair, he removed every strand so that it would never grow back.
Sindri and Brokkr made Draupnir, the ring of Odin, Mjolnir, Thor’s hammer, and Gullinbursti. The golden boar Gullinbursti was made from a pig’s skin and thousands of pieces of golden wire, worked in the incredibly hot furnaces of the brothers.
