 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 $35.00US
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.

 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

 Resin
Odin Statue $120.00US Sculpted
of cold-cast resin and painted in muted tones that give the
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

 Green
Sail Viking Ship
$85.00US
Perfect for those who adore Norse
traditions and history, this statue presents a
fantastically detailed statue of a Viking longship.
These iconic vessels were the means by which the
Vikings raided coastal dwellings and established
their fearsome reputation that has endured even to
this day. Known mostly for the feared scene of a
dragon-bowed ship drawn up to the beach with
blood-lusting warriors spilling over their sides,
these ships were also responsible for the
extensive trade routes developed by the Norse
peoples that allowed them and their legends to
linger so vividly in all of our minds. It was in
these ships that they colonized Iceland,
Greenland, and even ventured as far west as
Newfoundland while branching as far east as the
Volga River in Russia and the sprawling city of
Constantinople. Here we find every plank detailed
down to its grain and the pegs that hold the ship
together, accented by rows of brightly colored
round shields and swirling patterns that accent
the ship`s prow and stern. Not a detail is
forgotten, right down to the benches and drum for
the rowers and the rudder by the stern. Banked
with rows of oars and mantled with a tall mast-set
with a sail that seems to be filled by the
wind-this statue seems as though it should be
rolling upon the waves, filled with the fierce
warriors of the Viking traditions. Standing
11" tall and 12" long, this statue is
8" wide from oar tip to oar tip and can be
removed from its decorative stand to examine more
closely. AZ

 Resin
Freya Statue
$85.00US
Standing 10 "tall and 4" in
diameter, this enchanting cold-cast resin statue
of Freya perfectly captures her varied and wild
nature. As the Norse goddess associated with love,
beauty, and fertility as well as war, death, magic
and prophecy, she stands here in an alluring pose,
running her fingers through her wavy hair with a
winged Viking helm held beneath one arm as though
it has just been removed. Cloaked, and girded for
war with sword and dagger, and a shield leaning by
her side, the pieces of her armor leave little to
the imagination of those she gazes upon.
Exquisitely detailed, no fold of fabric or armor`s
buckle is left out in this delightful piece. AZ
