Valkyrie 9,5 cm

This bonded bronze figure depicts a Valkyrie, a mythical female warrior from Norse mythology, riding a rearing horse. Valkyries were Odin’s chosen maidens, guiding fallen warriors to Valhalla. Revered in Scandinavia from the Viking Age (8th–11th century), they were linked to Norse battle rituals and warrior beliefs. Worshiped primarily in Sweden, Denmark, and Norway, Valkyries symbolized fate and death in combat. They appear in the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda, influencing Germanic and later medieval traditions. This figure, adorned with armor and a flowing cape, embodies their powerful, otherworldly nature, bridging mortal warriors and the divine halls of Asgard.
