## About
Small enough for a collarbone, storied enough for a saga. This is the hammer of Thor at pendant scale, keeping the blunt, top-heavy silhouette of the real thing: a short handle widening abruptly into a broad rectangular head.Miniature hammers of this shape turn up again and again in Viking Age graves across Scandinavia, worn by men and women alike; the best-known, unearthed in southern Sweden, carries a runic inscription generally read as a simple boast: this is a hammer. In Norse belief Mjolnir was the weapon Thor used to guard Asgard and Midgard from the forces of chaos, and by old custom a small likeness was worn as protection in its own right, a strength borrowed rather than claimed. This casting comes from a mold based directly on an archaeological find, which is why its head is slightly asymmetrical and its handle plain, details a tidier reproduction would smooth away.DetailsMaterial: Cast pewter, with a deliberately rough, freshly forged textureCord: Braided leather with a simple knot closureDesign: From a mold based on an archaeological findHow to useWear it under a shirt or over it. It has real weight for its size, enough to remind you it is there.For anyone who wants their courage stated plainly rather than whispered.
