Thor's Hammer Mjölnir Pendant – Bronze Bredsättra Replica

Thor's Hammer Mjölnir Pendant – Bronze Bredsättra Replica

Design and Artistry

This amulet perfectly replicates the shape and ornamentation of the original 10th-century artefact. The entire surface of the hammer is covered in a dense web of intricate Norse knotwork and a fine granulated texture, creating an impression of extraordinary detail. All features are cast in high relief, giving the piece depth and an authentic feel. The pendant is cast from solid bronze and has an antique patina that enhances its historical character. It hangs from a quality leather cord with sliding knots for easy length adjustment.

A Symbol of Strength and Protection

Historical Origin: The Bredsättra Hammer

In Norse mythology, Mjölnir was the magical weapon of the god Thor, protector of mankind and the gods against the forces of chaos. Pendants shaped like his hammer were among the most popular amulets of the Viking Age, worn for protection, strength, and blessing. This particular design is an exact copy of the Bredsättra find, a masterpiece of late Viking Age craftsmanship and artistry.

A Glimpse into History: Mjölnir as a Symbol of Defiance

In the 9th and 10th centuries, as Christianity began to spread across Scandinavia, the popularity of Thor's Hammer pendants surged. They became a conscious symbol of defiance and a proud declaration of allegiance to the old gods and traditions. While Christians wore the cross, pagans hung Mjölnir on their chests as a clear sign of their identity.

Craftsmanship and Care

• Casting Method: The pendant is crafted using the traditional lost-wax casting method. This ancient technique allows for the capture of the finest details from the original artefact, making each piece unique.
• How to Wear: Easily adjust the length of the leather cord by sliding the knots. You can wear it as a choker or lower down on your chest.
• Caring for Your Bronze: Wipe the pendant with a soft, dry cloth after wearing. Protect it from water and perfumes. You can allow the bronze to age naturally and develop a deeper patina, or you can occasionally polish it with a metal polishing cloth to maintain its original lustre.
