Tyr Shackling Fenrir

Recreating a scene of Norse legend and bravery, 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 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.

Valkyrie

This statue proudly displays one of the fierce Valkyries, who chose who would die in battle. Those they have chosen were taken up into the halls of Valhalla, to live there among the rest of the noble slain. It was there that they became Einherjar, and lived and hunted and trained and hardened themselves for the coming last battle of Ragnarok, where they would fight by the side of Odin and many of the other Norse deities in what would be their last battle. For this, the Valkyries reward them, bearing them mead and tending to the wounds of their preparations. Here she is portrayed astride a charging horse and girded for war, with her cloak and hair flying loose behind her and a Norse sword raised high above her head. Perhaps riding fearlessly across the battlefield, she seeks a warrior brave enough to take back to the fabled halls of Valhalla. Wrought of cold-cast resin in exquisite detail, the whole statue stands 11" tall and 10" in length, and has been hand painted to give this heavy weight piece the look and feel of bronze. This is a fantastic statue for anyone who loves the Norse traditions or has cause to admire the Valkyrie’s noble spirit.

Bust: Valkyrie

Choosing who will die in battle, the Valkyrie were the beautiful warrior maidens of Norse mythology, who chose brave souls to rise up into the halls of Valhalla to live among the rest of the noble slain as Einherjar. There they lived and hunted, hardening themselves for the last battle of Ragnarok 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. Made of cold cast resin, this bust is polished and honed so as to appear to be crafted of bronze, with no attention to detail spared. It measures approximately 11" in height and 7-1/4" wide, allowing it to fit on most altars, desks and shelves.

Anubis Mummification Rites

Standing 4-3/4" tall and 5-1/2" in length, this small statue presents a wonderful means to praise and revere Anubis, the jackal-headed Egyptian god of the afterlife. Anubis is presented here stooped over an altar, upon which he is intent, finishing the last of the traditional burial wrappings needed before burial. Set with a multitude of rich details, including hieroglyphic writings along the edge of the altar and painted in traditional hues of gold, black, white, and red, this statue makes what could be a macabre scene a celebration of the god and his gentle care over those who have passed on into another life.

Anubis: Small

Anubis, the son of Osiris and Nephthys, is portrayed here in his jackal form, though he is more commonly represented as a jackal headed man.

This granted Osiris immortality, and both father and son ruled of aspects of the underworld. This statue is cold cast resin & hand-painted. He is 5-1/2" long.
