Bronze Thor Pendant

Thor, a Norse God, created thunder by striking his great hammer Mjollner. He protected the house of the Gods and humankind. The runes around the base are an invocation of Thor's protection and read; "Thor's thunder strike and hallowed hold us with Mjollner's might." The scene on the back depicts a battle between Thor and Ior, the World Serpent. An ox head was used as bait, and the struggle became so intense that Thor's feet crashed through the bottom of the boat and he used the seabed for support.
