Viking Valknut Pendant Hand-Carved from Walnut - Your Choice of Finish
The triangular Viking symbol known as the Valknut (pronounced "VAL-knoot") is one of the most popular yet enigmatic symbols of Norse mythology. The word Valknut is a more modern Norwegian term that means "knot of those fallen in battle." It is most widely recognized as a prominent symbol adorning the 7th Century Tangelgarda stone on the island of Gotland, Sweden. While the true meaning of the Valknut is not fully known, some historians have described the Valknut as a symbol relating to the power of the god Odin and his ability to lay bonds on the mind, thereby rendering men either helpless or crazed and fearless in battle.
We made this pendant using only a block of wood and a detailed carving knife. We didn't use a CNC computer-controlled carving machine or any modern electric rotary tools. We wanted this to be authentic, and not only look like it came from the Viking Age but also craft it in the same fashion. The wood has been stained and sealed to resist moisture and help it last for many years. We're offering it in your choice of all brown, or with silver accents.
