What does this jewelry represent?

This fine bronze pendant is a replica of the Eyrarland statue from around 1000 recovered from a farm at Akureyri in Iceland.

The piece is assumed to represent Thor, the god of thunder. The strongest of the gods, he was responsible for protecting the cosmos from the chaotic forces of the giants. For this, he used his mighty hammer Mjolnir. The god seems to be using his beard to create the shape of the hammer.

This was probably a playing piece from a Viking game. The original piece is 6.5cm tall, and resembles a chess piece. It is similar to a small whalebone piece used in a game called hnefatafl, which also uses black and white gaming pieces and a die. This pendant is a miniature version 2.6cm tall perfect for wearing or as a small mantlepiece.

In contrast with the original piece, which measures 6.5 cm, this reproduction is a miniature made of bronze and measures about 2.6 cm high. It comes with a leather cord so you can wear it right away.
