Odinic suncross altarpelt
Alter pelt Featuring a Sun cross and urnes style dragons dedicated to Odin.
Perhaps most famously, Odin is known for his reign over Valhalla (Valhǫll) and the Valkyries, who help him choose which fallen warriors will reside with him in this epic hall after death. He is also known for discovering the runes. The Norse poem Havamal (literally meaning words of the High-One, Odin) describes how he hung for nine days and nights from the world tree, Yggdrasill, sacrificing himself to himself. Eventually, he reaches down to pull up the runes.
Urnes
Dating from roughly 1050 to 1125, this style is named after a stave Church in Western Norway. Distinguished by slender beasts, intertwined with thin, ribbon-like bodies, this is one of the most widespread Viking styles. The beasts (usually identified as dragons/serpents) often form figure-eight like shapes or are interwoven symmetrically. They usually have pointed faces with downward angled lippets and large, almond shaped eyes. Beasts in this style are also seen on Swedish runestones with runic writing decorating their bodies.
I work closely with local Norwegian farmers to source all of my pelts including my rabbit pelts. im able to visit the farmers and see that they live good life and part of my craft insures that every part of the rabbits are honored. these animals are meat animals, meaning that the pelts are a bi product of feeding families. part of honoring our ancestors means not letting anything go to waste and finding uses for every part we can.
The pelts I work with are not dyed and will vary in color if not specified when ordering. They are soft to the touch and have a range of colorations from white and grey, lighter brown to deeper warmer tones , deep Black and variations combining them all.
