This tree from the Viking Age Överhogdal tapestries is believed to show Yggdrasill with Víðópnir.

According to Fjölsvinnsmál, Víðópnir or Víðófnir is a rooster that sits at the top of Mímameiðr, a tree often taken to be identical with the World Tree Yggdrasil. The name does not otherwise occur in the medieval sources.
