Hand Carved Nordic Snake
Sorry, currently out of stock
Design
The serpent can be found easily within ancient Nordic culture and tends to be associated with power. From the binding of Loki, where he is tortured with snake venom, to the death of Ragnar at the hands of King Aelle in a snake pit, there is a sense of finality surrounding this beast.
Many serpents in Nordic art may depict specific beasts such as Fafnir, Nidhogg, or Jormungandr.
Material & Make
This piece was hand carved with traditional methods and blades, through no use of modern machinery.
