The symbol in the passage is Grendel's head. In the context of the story, Grendel's head represents victory over evil and the triumph of good (Beowulf and the Danes) over a monstrous threat (Grendel). It serves as a tangible trophy of Beowulf's accomplishments and reflects themes of heroism and glory in the narrative.
