FREE UK DELIVERY
The raven is a common iconic figure in Norse mythology. The highest god Odin had two ravens named Huginn and Muninn ("thought" and "memory" respectively) who flew around the world bringing back tidings to their master. Therefore, one of Odin's many names was the "raven god" (Hrafnaguð).
This pendant hangs on a leather cord and is available in Bronze or silver Plated Bronze. This pendant was faithfully reproduced from a historical Vendel era brooch found in the excavations of Uppåkra / Sweden. You can cut the leather cord to the desired length and tie it for easy wear.
The original brooch after which this pendant was made dates from the middle of the 7th to the beginning of the 8th century. (link to the historical model it reproduces https://de.pinterest.com/pin/395824254734855257/ )
