Tyr
Statue
$100.00US
Recreating a scene of legend and bravery within
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.
This statue beautifully portrays this scene
straight out of Norse mythology. Sculpted of
cold-cast resin, the whole is created in amazing
detail, with the stern lines of Tyr`s face
accented by the hammer marks on his helm
displaying an equal brilliance as the shaggy coat
of the fierce Fenrir. Further, the whole possesses
a metallic sheen that gives the impression that
the whole statue has been cast in bronze. The
whole scene is approximately 11" wide and
10" tall, you can easily use it to accent a
bookshelf, desk, or your altar to find inspiration
in the bravery of Tyr. AZ

foresight, Heimdall is the Norse God who was
charged with guarding the rainbow bridge, Bifrost,
which offers the only passage from Midgard into
the realm of Asgard. There, Heimdall also kept
watch for the coming of Ragnarok, or the end of
the world, upon which he would blow his great horn
Gjallarhorn, whose note would alert the Gods to
the end of times, where he and Loki were fated to
slay each other. Here Heimdall is shown with the
great horn Gjallarhorn raised to his lips, blowing
the note that will announce the coming of Ragnarok.
Armored as a Viking warrior and standing upon the
Bifrost, the rainbow bridge, which also coils
around him, he is shown hefting a great axe, and
standing ready to protect the bridge from the
world of men to the world of the gods with all of
the ferocity for which the Norse gods are known.

statue of Heimdall has been sculpted of cold cast
resin and hand painted so as to lend the
impression that it has been sculpted of copper or
bronze. Place it on your altar or within your home
to seek the wisdom of Heimdall or his vigilance. AZ

Loki
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
havoc among the Gods. Indeed, known as a shape
shifted and a trickster, it was he who fathered
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
his face and eyes, he pulls aside the edge of his
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,
this fantastic sculpture stands 10 1/2" high
and 6" wide. Possessing an impressive weight,
it is brilliantly painted so as to make the whole
sculpture seem to be crafted of fine bronze,
making it the perfect ornament for any altar,
desk, bookshelf or any other such place where you
would want to display this famed figure of the
Norse pantheon. AZ
