Description

Brynhildr is a handmade Viking-style hammer with a polished metal head decorated with a tree-of-life roundel in interlaced knotwork, and a dark wooden handle carved with a helmeted Valkyrie figure.

Details

  • Design: tree-of-life roundel framed by interlaced knotwork on the head, with triquetra knots on its faces (as shown in the photos)
  • Handle: carved wood with a winged-helmet female figure and a triskelion at the pommel
  • Made by hand by skilled craftsmen
  • Inspiration: the Valkyries of Norse legend
  • Made as a collector and display hammer and a gift for lovers of Norse mythology

Brynhildr is the name of a shieldmaiden and Valkyrie-type heroine in the Norse Völsunga saga, and this hammer takes its name from that tradition, with a carved handle in keeping with the Valkyrie inspiration. The interlaced knotwork and triquetras are Insular-style decoration, used here as ornament. See more pieces in our Viking armory collection.
