Bust: Odin

The chief Norse god and ruler of Asgard, Odin is depicted here in this fantastic bust. Known as a patron of wisdom, war, poetry, magic and the hunt, he is displayed here as he is often portrayed; a one-eyed god of aged wisdom and valor. Head and shoulders are shown here, with his cloak swept back over the shoulders and concealing the plates of his armor. From beneath his horned helm, his beard and hair flow out, braided in the Norse fashion to rest upon his chest, but not concealing the firm set of his jaw and the stern line of his eyes, one of which is covered with a patch. All of this is displayed with fantastic detail, with wonderful attention paid to the ornamentation displayed upon his helm and patch. Great for the altar or home, this bust stands approximately 11-1/2" tall and 9" wide and is sculpted of cold-cast resin, providing a vivid presence for the Norse chief of Gods where ever you wish to put it.

Thor with Mjolnir

In this brilliant sculpture we find a mighty image of the Norse god of thunder, Thor. Richly detailed, the fearsome deity is depicted as a muscled warrior, scarred and muscled from years of swinging his magical hammer, Mjolnir, which was said to return to him after being thrown and to possess the power to hurl lightning. It was also his favored weapon in the many tales where he is said to have fought giants. Known as the frequent protector of the gods and humanity, he is also girded with his magical belt, Megingjord, and the iron bracers, Jarngreipr, which allowed him to magically increased his strength – allowing him to heft his mighty hammer in battle against the Giants. Indeed, he may well be shown waging his battle against them here, as he seems poised to strike with every muscle taut and Mjolnir raised high above his head, to throw at his enemies before it would magically return to his hand, allowing him to continue the fight. This vivid statue possesses a heavy weight, and is crafted expertly of cold cast resin before being painted so as to possess the same luster and color of sculpted bronze, making it a fantastic piece for desks, bookshelves, altars or any other place around the home or office that you might wish to display the glory of Thor. This statue measures approximately 10-1/2" high and 5-1/2" wide.

Thor, Triumphant

Here we find the fierce image of Thor, Norse god of lightning and the frequent protector of the Gods and humanity. The subject of numerous Sagas and works of Germanic and Norse mythology, he is said to have wrestled old age to a knee and defeated the fabled Jormungandr, a serpent so vast it was said that it could encircle the world and bite its own tail. With such heroic exploits, he has fast become among the most worshipped and revered of Norse deities. Indeed his fabled hammer has become a symbol revered as an icon of Norse and Germanic pagan faiths. This fabled hammer, Mjolnir, is said to hit every target at which it is thrown and magically return to his hand and throw lightning bolts. In this statue we find him poised upon a cloud as though preparing to hurl lightning from the heavens, or perhaps simply pausing in triumph after striking out against giants whom he was so frequently said to fight. By his feet are the fabled goats Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjostr, magical creatures that Thor could eat so long as he took care to leave their bones whole. When their remains were wrapped up they were able to return to life to pull his chariot. Richly detailed, even down to the engraving on the magical belt that girds his waist, this is a wonderful piece for all who would celebrate the Norse god. Made of cold cast resin, this weighty piece is hand painted so as to appear bronze, and measures 11-1" tall and 6" wide.

Tyr Shackling Fenrir

Recreating a scene of Norse legend and bravery, 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 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.

Bust: Valkyrie

Choosing who will die in battle, the Valkyrie were the beautiful warrior maidens of Norse mythology, who chose brave souls to rise up into the halls of Valhalla to live among the rest of the noble slain as Einherjar. There they lived and hunted, hardening themselves for the last battle of Ragnarok where many might again die by the side of Odin and many of the other Norse gods and goddesses. For this, the Valkyrie reward them, tending to their wounds and serving them mead. Here, you will find the striking features of such a Valkyrie displayed, head and shoulders in a bust straight out of Norse myth. The very picture of feminine beauty, she possesses delicate features concealed by her armor, with long braids spilling from the open face of her winged helmet. Don’t let this deceive you though. There is a hard set to her eyes, and the set of her jaw, showing that she is a woman who has seen battle. Made of cold cast resin, this bust is polished and honed so as to appear to be crafted of bronze, with no attention to detail spared. It measures approximately 11" in height and 7-1/4" wide, allowing it to fit on most altars, desks and shelves.

Anubis

One of the most widely recognized gods revered by the Ancient Egyptians, Anubis is most frequently represented as a man with a black, jackle`s head. Within Egyptian mythology, he is known often as the Embalmer, who helps prepare the dead for their journey to the underworld. Of old Anubis was also known to be the guardian of the dead, and the one who weighed the heart of against Ma`at to determine the worthiness of the deceased. As such, he had a prominent role throughout Egyptian history, and was worshiped in various forms into the 2nd century, with the eventual incarnation of Hermanubis even appearing in alchemical and hermetical works.This statue depicts Anubis in the traditional manner; an upright man with a crook in one hand and the ankh in the other, in the garb of the ancient Egyptians and a golden headdress hanging from his Jackle-head. Place it upon your altar and celebrate Anubis`s stewardship over the dead, or remind yourself that in the end the truth in your heart will be weighed against a feather.The statue, sculpted of cold cast resin, measures approximately 11 1/2" tall, 3" wide, and 5" deep.

Bastet in Cat Form

The powerful protector goddess of lower Egypt, Bastet's, or Bast's, very name means "the devourer," indicating the ferocity for which she was known in defending her own. This small statue offers a representation of her - not unlike that which was found in ancient Egypt. Standing 5-3/4" tall and 3-3/4" deep, it is the image of a cat sitting on her haunches and decorated in the jewels of Egyptian royalty, and marked with the Eye of Horus. The whole of the cold-cast resin sculpture is also black, with the exception of gold accents that clearly illustrate Bastet's features.

Bastet in Human Form

Shown here in her human form is the cat-headed Egyptian goddess Bastet. With the lithe body of a woman, she bears the symbols of her office as a protector and goddess of Egypt, as well as the gold jewelry of royalty. Standing approximately 12" in height, she is sculpted wonderfully out of cold cast resin and is painted in the traditional colors of ancient Egypt; black and gold.

Horus

Often viewed as the patron god of Egypt, Horus is widely recognized as one of the eldest and most revered of the Egyptian gods. Indeed, in the days of Ancient Egypt the Pharaoh was believed to be Horus in life much as he was believed to be Osiris in death, with each new Pharaoh merely being a new incarnation of Horus; a concept that had overtaken the earlier belief that the Pharaoh was the son of Ra. As the conqueror of Seth, the god of war and hunting, and the protector of Egypt, his symbol, the Eye of Horus, became a symbol of protection and power, helping to ward off evil. Taking the form of the traditional image of Horus, this statue celebrates the patron Deity as he was known to the Ancient Egyptians. With the head of a falcon crowned in rulership of all of Egypt, he is posed as one might see him portrayed in ancient hieroglyphs: one foot slightly forward with his forward hand holding the carrying the traditional staff and his relaxed arm carrying the ankh. The whole piece stands approximately 12" tall, 2 3/4" wide, and 4" deep and has been painted in rich tones of gold and black.

Osiris

One of the oldest gods for whom records have been found, the Egyptian god Osiris is presented here in classical Egyptian styling. The merciful judge of the dead in the afterlife, as well as the agent of the underworld that granted all life, including sprouting vegetation and the fertile flooding of the Nile, Osiris was, and is, one of the most widely worshipped deities of the Egyptian Pantheon and, indeed, the ancient world. Here he is depicted with the crook and flail, symbols of how he was often considered a shepherd of both the living and the dead, in the form of a mummified pharaoh as he was quite commonly shown in Egyptian lore. Standing 8" high and 2" wide at its widest point, this statue is crafted of cold-cast resin and painted gold, accented with shades of red, green, and black.
