Oseberg style combat bracers

Those combat bracers were sold on april 2016, but we're so proud to this Norse pattern (I guess the Oseberg style is one of the most complex and intricate styles for knotworking) that we'll probably make a new pair for the shop, using the same dragon but different shape and colours in a near future.

Odroerir box


Some pyrography. The central symbol is Odroerir, with the three horns containing the mead of poetry stolen by Odin in Suttung home. This design contains the whole Elder Futhark, something obvious talking about wisdom and poetry isn't it? The box sides are adorned with dragons inspired by the Oseberg style.

Wes hal!

Hugin ok Munin




Some pyrography for today's blog. Hugin and Munin, Odin's Ravens, or if you want: Wisdom and Memory. They fly everyday around the nine worlds and later they return to their owner to inform Him about all the things viewed in their travels.


The other ornaments in the box are inspired in the classic Oseberg style, related with the burial treasure found in Tønsberg (Norway), dated in 9th century CE. The front Fylfot its based in a Gothic eagle brooch made in the Balkans in 4th century CE. It has also a Runic inscription extracted from the Elder Edda's Grimnismál, st 20:



Huginn ok Muninn fljúga hverjan dag Jörmungrund yfir; óumk ek of Hugin at hann aftr né komit, þó sjámk meir um Munin.

Translation:

Hugin and Munin fly each day over the spacious earth. I fear for Hugin, that he come not back, yet more anxious am I for Munin.

Hope you like it.
