This 10th Century bronze image of Thor was found in Akureyri, Iceland. It shows him in his characteristic pose grasping his hammer, Mjollnir. Thor was the Norse god of thunder, lightning, rain and agriculture and was the most popular of the gods. Thor's sacred emblem, the hammer, was used to celebrate weddings and funerals and people carried his amulet as a good-luck charm. Thor died by venom from the mouth of Jormungand, the world serpent, at Ragnarók (the doom of the gods). It stands 3-1/4 inches tall and weighs 9 oz. Brass. Please allow 2 weeks shipping on this item.
