Item #SF427: First among the goddesses of the Norse tradition and the wife of Odin, Frigga is generally viewed as the queen of Asgard, and the only one entity aside from Odin permitted to sit aside the high throne of Hlidskjalf. Associated with married women, and viewed as a mother figure, who gave birth to Baldr the famed figure of Norse legend. She was also believed to possess the gift of prophecy, though she kept this gift to herself. Revere her as a figure of love, fertility, and wisdom, for she embodies all of these qualities and more. Here she is portrayed as a lovely woman of motherly age, sitting within the throne that only she and Odin dare rest upon. On one arm is a falcon which Frigga was known to turn into with the aid of a cloak of falcon feathers, while with her other she holds upright the distaff after which constellations were named, and which she was known to use in the spinning of wool.
Sculpted of cold cast resin and beautifully painted so as to appear to be a statue of polished bronze, this statue measures 10 1/2" tall and 7" wide. No detail is spared from the Futhark runes that bedeck Frigga`s bared arm and leg to the motherly lines of her face. It is the perfect piece for celebration of this motherly goddess and the Norse pantheon.

Item #SF429: Freyr is the God of the Norse pantheon traditionally associated with farming, weather, and the male aspects of fertility. Of the Race of the Vanir, he came with his sister Freyja to live in Asgard, the home of the Aesir, and was therefore one of the gods of nature traditionally associated alongside the Warrior Gods. He was held as a very important figure, who was said to bestow both peace and pleasure upon mortals. He was the ruler of Alfeimr, the realm of the elves, and was known for riding a shining golden boar, made by dwarves and possessing a ship that always had a favorable breeze, and could be folded up to fit in a pouch. His most notable story is where he falls in love with the Jotuun, Geror, and wins her as his wife by giving away his magical sword. As a result, it is said that he will fall during Ragnarok to Surtr, a jotunn of fire.
Here, this important figure of Norse mythology is displayed with all of his splendor. Clad in armor and furs, he leans against the sword for which he is famed while the gigantic boar he rides sits at rest behind him. No detail is spared in this wonderful statue, from the tips of his horned helm to his fur-clad feet. This statue of Freyr beautifully portrays him as a figure of masculine virility much as he was said to bestow upon those who revered him. Sculpted of cold-cast resin, the statue measures approximately 8 3/4" tall and 5" wide, and has been painted so as to appear to be a fine sculpture of polished bronze.

Richly detailed, the fearsome deity is depicted as a muscled warrior, scarred and muscled from years of swinging his magical hammer, Mjolnir, which was said to return to him after being thrown and to possess the power to hurl lightning. It was also his favored weapon in the many tales where he is said to have fought giants. Known as the frequent protector of the gods and humanity, he is also girded with his magical belt, Megingjord and the iron bracers, Jarngreipr, which allowed him which magically increased his strength, allowing him to heft his mighty hammer in battle against the Giants.

Item #ST008: Statue 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. |

There they lived and hunted, hardening themselves for the last battle of Ragnorok where many might again die by the side of Odin and many of the other Norse gods and goddesses. For this, the Valkyrie reward them, tending to their wounds and serving them mead. Here, you will find the striking features of such a Valkyrie displayed, head and shoulders in a bust straight out of Norse myth. The very picture of feminine beauty, she possesses delicate features concealed by her armor, with long braids spilling from the open face of her winged helmet. Don`t let this deceive you though. There is a hard set to her eyes, and the set of her jaw, showing that she is a woman who has seen battle.
