Recreating a scene of legend and bravery within Norse, 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 whole 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.
