Description from the seller
Extremely rare Thor's Hammer Pendant Late 10 AD
Stunning piece.
Thor (runic: þonar ᚦᛟᚾᚨᚱ), in Old High German and Frisian Tonger, in Continental Germanic mythology Donar or Thonar, in Old Norse Þórr, in Old Saxon Thunaer or Thunar, is the god of thunder in Norse and Germanic mythology. All these names ultimately derive from the Proto-Germanic theonym *Þun(a)raz: 'thunder'. He is a son of Wodan and the earth goddess Fjorgyn. In apocryphal Frisian historiography, he was equated with the (fictional) god Stavo, who was said to have been worshipped in Stavoren.
Weight: 33.27 grams
Height: 46.2 mm
Wide: 50.1 mm
Material: Bronze
