Viking I

Viking I

This Viking inspired art door is reminiscent of a rough wood plank door, thatched with leather and hammered copper nails. It's hinged with 'aged' iron and hosts a brass door pull.   A Vegvisir the runic compass, the symbol of protection and guidance is inlaid into the back side of the door. The double-headed eagle symbolizes both material (physical power) and spiritual powers (divine protective power) working together. An ancient map is engraved on the back wall and a dragon head ship on the back. The Viking longships owned by kings and chieftains often had a head from a mythological animal in the bow, it offered protection from sea monsters and men, bad weather and raids along the voyages.

This is an original, only one is available, though Viking II is in progress. If you’d like me to create a custom work telling your story, just send email to clare@raventreeworks.com or call 914.977.3134
