Loki with Fenrir & Jormungandr Figure

Widely considered the Norse God of Discord, Loki is a mixed blessing upon the Gods of the Norse Pantheon. Though on occasion he did aid them in their struggles and efforts, on most occasions he was known to have delighted in causing discord and havoc among the Gods. Indeed, known as a shape shifted and a trickster, it was he who fathered the goddess Hel, who ruled over a portion of the dead, as well as the world serpent Jormungandr, who was grew so large as to encircle the world and Fenrir, the wolf who was foretold to kill the god Odin during Ragnarok.

Loki himself responsible for engineering the death of the god Balder, for which he was finally cast out from the gods and bound in the entrails of his son, where a serpent was poised above him to drip his painful venom upon him. His wife, offering mercy, collects the poison in a bowl, staying at his side until she needs to empty the bowl.

During this time the poison strikes Loki, and in his agonized writhing the very world shakes. For this, Loki is foretold to join the forces of the jotnar against the Gods, and fight them during Ragnarok where he is fated to slay and be slain by the god Heimdallr.

In this statue, Loki is portrayed as the ominous herald of calamity and strife. Girded for battle and carrying a great axe. With cold mischief vividly portrayed in fantastic detail in the expression of his face and eyes, he pulls aside the edge of his great, furred cloak to reveal Fenrir and Jormungandr, unleashed upon the world and the gods to cause havoc and ruin.

Made of cold cast resin, this fantastic sculpture stands approx 10 1/2" high and 6" wide. Possessing an impressive weight, it is brilliantly painted so as to make the whole sculpture seem to be crafted of fine bronze, making it the perfect ornament for any altar, desk, bookshelf or any other such place where you would want to display this famed figure of the Norse pantheon.
