We homeschool our daughter and I'm looking for a couple educational norse posters to hang on our classroom wall. Open to all art types but I'd like it to have some information on it.
This artwork shows Fenrir breaking free of Gleipnir, while Hati and Sköll swallow the sun and moon!
Norse Mythology is so metal from its beginnings to its end I freaking love it! 🤘
I hope y'all enjoy this piece as much as I did creating it!
In preparing the figurine of my paternal line great-ancestor I think I came up with a figure that today's post-industrial lawyers can put on the desk as an alternative to the the Greek goddess Themis... Sculpture is supposed to represent the descendant of the Ingaevones tribe (in my case: R1a-Z289 > R1a-YP694 > ...), who left the Jutland Peninsula around 800 AD, so the figure has a medieval hood, holds dane axe and a boar-crested helmet is only crossed.
Figure in medieval costume with scales and danish axe, stepping over a boar-crested helmet...
