 Thor
Statue Image
$40.00US
This 10th Century bronze
image of Thor was found in Akureyri, Iceland. It
shows him in his characteristic pose grasping his
hammer, Mjollnir. Thor was the Norse god of
thunder, lightning, rain and agriculture and was
the most popular of the gods. Thor's sacred
emblem, the hammer, was used to celebrate weddings
and funerals and people carried his amulet as a
good-luck charm. Thor died by venom from the mouth
of Jormungand, the world serpent, at Ragnarók
(the doom of the gods). This bronze statue is
reproduced in Sweden in cooperation with the
Icelandic State Museum. It stands 3-1/4 inches
tall and weighs 9 oz.

 Odin
Statue Image
$40.00US
Odin was the chief god of
the Norse pantheon. He fathered Thor, Baldur, Hoder, Tyr, Bragi, Heimdall,
Ull, Vidar, Hermod and Vali. His wives were Fjorgyn, Frigga and Rind. He
roamed Midgard (the human world) seducing women so many mortals could
trace their ancestry to him. He invented the runes and was at once wise,
kind and cruel - perhaps representing human nature. Odin was killed by
Fenrir the wolf at Ragnarók, the doom
of the gods. The original of this bronze statue was found in Lindby,
Skane, Sweden and is here reproducted in Black/gold colored Ganges
clay statue. 8" tall. Please allow 2 weeks shipping on this
item.

 Viking
Age Tipping Glass $20.00US
Viking glass blowers were unable to make a
flat-bottomed vessel. This is as close as it
comes. Although it's a bit unstable, it's still
useful and is a fine conversation piece. The
"tipping" glass holds about 5-1/2 ounces. And it
stands (or leans!) four inches high. Possible 2
week delay on shipping of this item.

 Viking
Shop Model
$35.00US A striking decoration for
the Viking enthusiast! This is a scale model of the famous Oseberg ship,
found in Norway. Viking ships were the high technology of their time. They
permitted the Vikings to dominate most of Europe for almost 300 years as
they traveled thousands of miles raiding and trading. Without these
"dragons of the sea" the outstanding achievements of the Viking Age would
not have been possible. Our model is 7-3/4 inches long, 2-1/4 inches wide
and 4-1/4 inches tall.

 Lilith
Statue
$85.00US
This image of Lilith is based largely on
a Sumerian clay tablet relief from 2000 BC. She wears the
horned crown that marks her as a Goddess not a demon in
Sumerian mythology. Lilith appears in Sumerian, Babylonian,
Assyrian, Canaanite, Persian, Hebrew, Arabic and Teutonic
mythology. She is also known as Adam's "first wife" who
refused to "lie beneath." In the oldest mythologies she is a
Goddess and in later stories she is demonized. Lilith is a
motherless form of the divine feminine even known to some as
the wife of Yahweh. As the embodiment of the neglected,
outcast and rejected aspects of the Great Goddess she calls
women to rise up in strength to reclaim their own divinity.
