Raven Thor's Hammer Wall Hanging

One of the best known items from the Viking Age is the Thor's Hammer (Mjölnir in Old Norse). The Thor's Hammer was worn by pagans who followed the Norse Gods and in particular, Thor. The Thor's Hammer was a magical weapon carried by the God and made by dwarves. It had many powers and the image of the hammer was usually worn by Heathens, one of the most famous and instantly recognisable Hammers is the archaeological example from Skåne in Sweden. 

This is a solid suar wood wall hanging hand carved using traditional carving techniques and tools from suar wood and finished with black paint. The Thor's Hammer is adorned with a knotwork motif and presents the head of a raven at the top. The raven is an important iconic figure in Norse mythology, being mostly associated with thor's father, the god Odin.
