Hand Carved Brown Valknut and Black Ravens Wooden Viking Wall Hanging

We buy directly from the craftsmen to bring you this beautiful carving. In Norse mythology, Huginn and Muninn are a pair of ravens that fly all over the world and bring information to the god Odin. Three circles/ravens interlocking with each other. This basically means that if one were to cut away, the other two would fall apart. As such, Borromean Rings were used, since the early times, as symbols for strength in unity. Valknut is a modern Norwegian compound word that means 'knot of those fallen in battle' and was introduced by Norwegians who lived long after the Viking age. Carved from a single piece of Suar wood which is sustainable. As each item is individually carved from wood there will be variations in the colour and wood grain, so please allow for minor differences from photo in the wood, this adds to it’s authenticity, ensuring you have a genuine hand - made product and not a mass factory produced item.
