Historiska världars forum

Hello,
this is my post here, unfortunately I'm unable to speak or understand your language, therefore it can't search this forum for the info i'm looking for. Due to the lack of material on this subject (books) in Poland (that's where i come from) I'm asking You for help. I want to recreate a Mjöllnir pendant, and I'm having problems with finding either pictures/drawings of either original excavations or recreated and sold as jewelery.
So far i found these (above the picture is listed the place it was found):
Hesselbjerg, Denmark

Vatnsdalur, Iceland

Herrestad, County of Skåne, Sweden

Halmstad, Sweden

Stenby, county of Motala, Sweden

Fosse, Iceland

Odeshog, Ostergotlamd, Sweden

Bornholm

Kabara, Scania.

Hiddensee, Germany

Copenhagen museum

Vaalse, Dania.

Muzeum w Smaalandii.

Bredsatra, Sweden

Vaalse

Mickels, När parish

Gärdslöv, Assartorp, Sweden

Norfolk
.
So far that's all i found. Little especially that according to the information I found, around 120 mjollnir pendants were excavated.

I'm asking You to help me. Post here, or mail me: czcibor@mjollnir.pl if You can all the drawings/pictures of mjollnir pendants You know. I'm only interested in historical correct mjollnir's, no fantasy.

Maybe You have any idea form where do these come from? Since I found them in many places on the net, except no where was it said where they come from or are they fake.




I will be very thankfull for any help, i'm really depending on it.

When i glance through them i find the last one being somewhat of a fantasy creation...

some i found:
from a grave in Birka

Thx Bobbechk.
Another question - does anybody know how big is the mjollnir pendant found in Mickels, När parish??

Ragweed Forge, an American site, sells reproductions of some of the hammers you have pictures of here. The URL is: http://www.ragweedforge.com/

This subpage has all of his Thor's hammers:

Good luck!

The hammer is ap. 21 mm wide and 2,4 mm thick. Hope it helps.

Hmm...i believe the pendant from Fosse, Iceland is rather a cross than a Thor's hammer.

Halvor

Yep, it is the famous Wolf-cross of Fosse.

Oh, you mean the one all satanists are proudly wearing?

moahahahah!

Halvor

Satanists have proudly been wearing Peter's crosses for years, thanks to modern cinema. That, and of course the fact that they are typically not all that clever and/or well read.

about Fosse hammer:
actually it is a thor's hammer, with a cross cut off inside, probably a later addition. Even in the museum in Iceland it is signed as a Thor's hammer.

With best regards,
Storm

Hello

The page has now changed from www.nordicarts.com to www.nordicarts.co.uk.

The site will be relaunched later this year at www.nordic-gift.com and will feature existing Viking Jewelry including Thor's Hammer pendant and earrings, plus much more.
