This rustic, leaf-shaped talisman features a Tyr rune carving on a bold statement chain.
- the weighty pendant is made of silver plated pewter
- Tyr is the rune of the Norse God Tyr; it is a protective rune of justice
- hangs on a heavy statement chain of sterling plated brass measuring 26" or 66cm long
- closes with an embellished pewter toggle clasp
In some traditions, the spear-shaped Tyr rune corresponds to the North Star.

The Viking spear gets a wrought iron core; requiring lots of forge welding!

The hull of the ship Orkan has been put together.
It's so satisfying to finally see her shape. There is still a lot of work to do to complete the longship but we are getting there :)

I published a whole bunch of pages about varangian runestones I’ve visited on the Varangian Biker site. Each page includes photos, a trace of the inscription and a translation. A few of them also have descriptions. I have visited more of them, but I haven’t had time to create pages for them yet.

The Viking Broad Seax was making good progress but the welds failed. Let's do the forge welding all over again.

Do you remember that #medieval / #viking hood I wanted to sew a few weeks ago? Not only did I actually finish it just on time for the first medieval market 2 weeks ago (well in the train on the way there) I also managed to finally take some pictures. The sewing as well as the embroidery could be neater, but I like it #handsewing
