Fortuna

Fortuna is the Roman goddess of fortune, and the personification of luck within the Roman religion. Whether she brought good or bad luck was a matter of fate. Indeed, she was often depicted as veiled and blind, much like modern depictions of the lady Justice. Here she is shown as a feminine beauty, in a long gown with her eyes hidden behind a blindfold as she dispenses coins from an ever-flowing cornucopia. Standing approximately 11-1//4" high, she is sculpted of cold cast resin so as to appear to be one of the fantastic marble statues of ages past, making her the perfect addition to your altar or home. Whether you`re praying to her or simply honoring her, this statue is a great reminder of the fickle nature of fortune.

Hades

Known to Greek Lore as the ruler of the Underworld and the antagonist in the classical tale of Persephone and Demeter, the god Hades stands here in a splendid example Greek imagery. Draped in robes that leave his torso bare, Hades gazes out over all before him, with his bearded face set in a state of regal calm beneath his Helm of Darkness. By his side stands the fierce guardian Cerberus – the three-headed dog that keeps the dead from leaving the Underworld and the living from entering – collared and leashed with its chains clasped firmly in the right hand of the grim deity. In his right hand, Hades holds a shepherd’s goad, symbolizing his rule and guardianship over those who pass into the Underworld. Standing 10" tall and 5" wide, this statue is made of cold cast resin with a white finish, so as to appear to be crafted of marble.

Pan and Psyche

This statue portrays two figures of myth and legend with a fine detail that seems to bring the tales from Greece and Rome to life before your eyes. Curled upon a stone, plying his charms in an attempt to satiate legendary desire, Pan has the poor, beautiful Psyche in his clutches. Leaning towards her, with his hands gesturing as in speech and one arm draped around her, Pan seems intent upon wooing the lovely woman, and oblivious to her expression. Psyche with the wings of a butterfly sprouting from her back, seems demure and shy despite her half-nudity, with her features poised in an expression that would seem more nervous and bored than eager for the satyr`s advances, for her only lover and desire is to be with Cupid, her husband. Standing 7-1/2" wide, 8-1/2" high and 6" deep, this statue has been painstakingly crafted of cold cast resin to portray these two legends as though they were sculpted of marble as the Greeks sculpted of olde.

Zeus

Here we find an iconic image of the ruler of the Greek Pantheon, Zeus. Sculpted of cold cast resin and designed to seem almost as a marble statue of old, it displays the fierce side of the Greek god. Standing astride a cloud, his robes billow about his waist and legs as though whipped about by the winds of his fury. Poised in his right hand like a javelin, Zeus holds a lightning bolt, jagged with power. His body, nude from the waist up, seems that of a taut warrior, ready to spring, with his beard and hair parted and tussled by the winds and held in place by the crown of his station. So often portrayed as a stately and noble king, here we finally see a vision of the fierce deity poised to unleash the wrath that was so often spoken of in Greek mythology. Whether he is waging against the Titans or striking out at his brothers and sisters, who once sought to usurp him, Zeus and his might lightning bolt are certainly a striking image. Standing a stately 9" tall and 7" wide, this is a wonderful representation of Zeus and all of his noble glory.

Freya

Standing 10-1/2" tall and 4" in diameter, this enchanting cold-cast resin statue of Freya perfectly captures her varied and wild nature. As the Norse goddess associated with love, beauty, and fertility as well as war, death, magic and prophecy, she stands here in an alluring pose, running her fingers through her wavy hair with a winged Viking helm held beneath one arm as though it has just been removed. Cloaked, and girded for war with sword and dagger, and a shield leaning by her side, the pieces of her armor leave little to the imagination of those she gazes upon. Exquisitely detailed, no fold of fabric or armor’s buckle is left out in this delightful piece.

Loki with Fenrir & Jormungandr

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 shapeshifter 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 grew so large as to encircle the world, and Fenrir, the wolf who was foretold to kill the god Odin during Ragnarok. Loki himself was 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.

Odin

Sculpted of cold-cast resin and painted in muted tones that leave him seemingly sculpted of brass, is depicted the ruler of the Norse pantheon, Odin. It was he who received the souls of valiant warriors that died in battle and the women he favored become the legendary Valkyries. Primarily the lord of wisdom, war, battle and death, he was also known to have held sway over magic, poetry, prophecy, victory, and the hunt. Here he is shown sitting regally upon his throne, Hlidskjalf-from which he could see everything that happened in the universe – seeming a wizened old man with a stern, bearded face. Girded for battle, he seems as though he could be overseeing a council of war, with his ravens Huginn and Munninn (thought and memory) close at hand while the wolves Geri and Freki rest close by his feet, seeking the scraps from his table. Standing 10" tall and 8" wide, this statue is perfect for any who revere the Norse pantheons.

Bust: Odin

The chief Norse god and ruler of Asgard, Odin is depicted here in this fantastic bust. Known as a patron of wisdom, war, poetry, magic and the hunt, he is displayed here as he is often portrayed; a one-eyed god of aged wisdom and valor. Head and shoulders are shown here, with his cloak swept back over the shoulders and concealing the plates of his armor. From beneath his horned helm, his beard and hair flow out, braided in the Norse fashion to rest upon his chest, but not concealing the firm set of his jaw and the stern line of his eyes, one of which is covered with a patch. All of this is displayed with fantastic detail, with wonderful attention paid to the ornamentation displayed upon his helm and patch. Great for the altar or home, this bust stands approximately 11-1/2" tall and 9" wide and is sculpted of cold-cast resin, providing a vivid presence for the Norse chief of Gods where ever you wish to put it.

Thor with Mjolnir

In this brilliant sculpture we find a mighty image of the Norse god of thunder, Thor. 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 to magically increased his strength – allowing him to heft his mighty hammer in battle against the Giants. Indeed, he may well be shown waging his battle against them here, as he seems poised to strike with every muscle taut and Mjolnir raised high above his head, to throw at his enemies before it would magically return to his hand, allowing him to continue the fight. This vivid statue possesses a heavy weight, and is crafted expertly of cold cast resin before being painted so as to possess the same luster and color of sculpted bronze, making it a fantastic piece for desks, bookshelves, altars or any other place around the home or office that you might wish to display the glory of Thor. This statue measures approximately 10-1/2" high and 5-1/2" wide.

Thor, Triumphant

Here we find the fierce image of Thor, Norse god of lightning and the frequent protector of the Gods and humanity. The subject of numerous Sagas and works of Germanic and Norse mythology, he is said to have wrestled old age to a knee and defeated the fabled Jormungandr, a serpent so vast it was said that it could encircle the world and bite its own tail. With such heroic exploits, he has fast become among the most worshipped and revered of Norse deities. Indeed his fabled hammer has become a symbol revered as an icon of Norse and Germanic pagan faiths. This fabled hammer, Mjolnir, is said to hit every target at which it is thrown and magically return to his hand and throw lightning bolts. In this statue we find him poised upon a cloud as though preparing to hurl lightning from the heavens, or perhaps simply pausing in triumph after striking out against giants whom he was so frequently said to fight. By his feet are the fabled goats Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjostr, magical creatures that Thor could eat so long as he took care to leave their bones whole. When their remains were wrapped up they were able to return to life to pull his chariot. Richly detailed, even down to the engraving on the magical belt that girds his waist, this is a wonderful piece for all who would celebrate the Norse god. Made of cold cast resin, this weighty piece is hand painted so as to appear bronze, and measures 11-1" tall and 6" wide.
