Large Animal Head Thor's Hammer
-
Description
Many years ago I wanted to make a large Thor's Hammer with a fiercesome animal head. I took the form of the hammer from original Viking Age finds and gave it a thicker, stronger shape, emphasizing the pointed form. I added an animal head modelled on an original head from a Viking spur and carved the traditional ring chain pattern in the hammer shaft. The interlaced birds on the hammer head are my own inspiration.
Many Thor's hammers have been found from the Viking Age, but this is my own design, inspired by traditional motifs. It is heavy and uncompromising.
Since I first designed this hammer, other people have copied it illegally, some even claiming it is an original design from the Viking Age.
But now you know the origin of my original large animal head Thor's hammer.
Height 43mm
Weight in Sterling Silver 47g (Weight may vary from piece to piece)

AIt's bigger than you thinkI wanted this hammer 20 years ago but couldn't afford it then, I settled on a different hammer and I was happy with it but after 20 years the silver began to degrade and erode from the leather cord. I figured it was time to replace it and also probably a good time to get the one I always wanted. What struck me first isn't the hight or width, but rather how thick this is, it's a sizeable chunk of silver for sure. Excellent work from Alban and the team.

KAbsolutely outstandingI own a large collection of Thorshammer amulets, most of them replicas of iconic originals, but also some modern designs. Alban's large Thorshammer is the latest addition and absolutely stands out among the modern designs: it is the heaviest, perfectly crafted, and convincingly consistent with the design language of the Viking Age. I love having learned about the story and the people behind it via YouTube. Thank you Alban and Rachel!
You are welcome, thank you Klaus
