 Resin
Thor Statue $110.00US
Here we find the fierce image of Thor, Norse god of
lightning and the frequent protector of the Gods and humanity. The
subject of numerous Sagas and works of Germanic and Norse
mythology, he is said to have wrestled old age to a knee and
defeated the fabled Jormungandr, a serpent so vast it was said
that it could encircle the world and bite its own tail. With such
heroic exploits, he has fast become among the most worshipped and
revered of Norse deities. Indeed his fabled hammer has become a
symbol revered as an icon of Norse and Germanic pagan faiths. This
fabled hammer, Mjolnir, is said to hit every target at which it is
thrown and magically return to his hand and throw lightning bolts.
In this statue we find him poised upon a cloud as though preparing
to hurl lightning from the heavens, or perhaps strike out against
giants whom he was so frequently said to fight. By his feet are
the fabled goats Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjostr, magical creatures
that Thor could eat so long as he took care to leave their bones
whole. When their remains were wrapped up they were able to return
to life to pull his chariot. Richly detailed, even down to the
engraving on the magical belt that girds his waist, this is a
wonderful piece for all who would celebrate the Norse god. Made of
cold cast resin, this weighty piece is hand painted so as to
appear bronze, and measures 11 " tall and 6" wide. AZ

appearance that he is sculpted of brass, is depicted the ruler of
the Norse pantheon, Odin. His very name is related to the word oor,
meaning fury and excitation, as well as poetry and mind. forging a
complex origin paves the path for his complicated role as chief of
the Norse Gods. The lord of wisdom, war, battle, and death he was
also known to have held sway over magic, poetry, prophecy,
victory, and the hunt; a complex mingling of many of the virtues
that the Norse people held sacred. It was he who received the
souls of valiant warriors that died in battle and the women he
favored become the legendary Valkyries, who strode among the
battlefields and brought the valiant dead to the halls of
Valhalla, where they would wait, training and feasting. Then, when
Ragnorok came, they would take up arms again and fight for Odin in
the battle that was foretold to mean his death. Here he is shown
sitting regally in his throne set upon Hlidskjalf, a place from
which he could perceive everything that happened in the universe.
Girded for battle, he seems as though he could be overseeing a
council of war, with his expression painted into an image of stern
contemplation. Close at hand are his ravens Huginn and Munninn
(Names that translate into Thought and Memory), who fly around the
earth daily and report the happenings of the world to Odin at
night, and the wolves Geri and Freki rest close by his feet, to
whom he feeds the food of his table for Odin, in his might,
requires nothing but mead. Standing 10" tall and 8 "
wide, this statue is perfect for any who revere the Norse
pantheons. AZ

Norse, this sculpture depicts the epic legend of
the brave Norse god Tyr aiding in the shackling of
the legendary Fenrir. Fenrir, the child of Loki,
was said to be a great wolf of fierce anger and
cunning. He was foretold to be the one who would
kill the god Odin during the events of Ragnarok,
and otherwise sew great trouble and turmoil
throughout the world. For this reason, the Gods
bound him in shackles but try as they might the
beast broke every chain they put upon him. The
dwarves finally came then and created an
unbreakable magic ribbon called Gleipnir, which
could not be broken but Fenrir could not be
tricked into being bound. At last the brave god of
single combat, glory and victory stepped forward
and stilled Fenrir, with his hand placed within
the wolf`s mouth. So lulled, the wolf was bound
with the Gleipnir, and the Gods rejoiced, but in a
fit of anger Fenrir bit off Tyr`s hand, and
forever after he was known as the one-handed god.

Statue $80.00US
Widely considered the Norse God of Discord, Loki
is a mixed blessing upon the Gods of the Norse
Pantheon. Though on occasion he did aid them in
their struggles and efforts, on most occasions he
was known to have delighted in causing discord and

the goddess Hel, who ruled over a portion of the
dead, as well as the world serpent Jormungandr,
who was grew so large as to encircle the world and
Fenrir, the wolf who was foretold to kill the god
Odin during Ragnarok. Loki himself responsible for
engineering the death of the god Balder, for which
he was finally cast out from the gods and bound in
the entrails of his son, where a serpent was
poised above him to drip his painful venom upon
him. His wife, offering mercy, collects the poison
in a bowl, staying at his side until she needs to
empty the bowl. During this time the poison
strikes Loki, and in his agonized writhing the
very world shakes. For this, Loki is foretold to
join the forces of the jotnar against the Gods,
and fight them during Ragnarok where he is fated
to slay and be slain by the god Heimdallr. In this
statue, Loki is portrayed as the ominous herald of
calamity and strife. Girded for battle and
carrying a great axe. With cold mischief vividly
portrayed in fantastic detail in the expression of

great, furred cloak to reveal Fenrir and
Jormungandr, unleashed upon the world and the gods
to cause havoc and ruin. Made of cold cast resin,

and 6" wide. Possessing an impressive weight,
