This is a functional wall clock hand carved to represent the Valknut symbol at its centre surrounded by runes. It is a minimalist but elegant clock.
The Valknut is a mysterious symbol consisting of three interlocked triangles, and is thought to be strongly tied to Odin. The name comes from Old Norse for "Knot" and "Slain Warrior", loosely meaning the "knot of those fallen in battle". It is thought that the Valknut was displayed at the burial sights of those who dies in battle as a sign that they were to be taken to Valhalla.
The Eldar Futhark runes are a set of 24 characters that were predominantly used between 100 and 800 AD, by the Norse Viking as well as other Germanic people. Runes were carved into various materials including stone, bone, wood and metal.
It is hand carved from soar wood. Dimensions are approximations, as they are hand carved there will be minor variations in dimensions, stain and grain as each piece is unique.
