The Freyja Statue Carving Altar Sculpture is a stunning piece of Norse artwork dating back to the Viking Age. Crafted from a single block of oak wood, the sculpture stands at over a meter in height, and showcases exquisite detail on both human and animal figures. Unlike many representations of Freyja, the Norse goddess of fertility and war, this Freyja features four cats at its base. This depiction indicates the importance placed on cats in Norse mythology--the animals being seen as symbols of transformation and luck--and could be seen as an offering to Freyja herself. The altar is also decorated with various interlocked shapes which are believed to represent intertwining lives or stories, further highlighting the importance of communication stressed in Nordic culture. Each shape was carefully carved with chisel and hammer by master craftmen who's skillful hand is still evident today. Combining traditional symbolism with symbolism that speaks to contemporary audiences, the Freyja Statue Carving Altar Sculpture truly captures an important moment in history and will bring beauty, mystery and awe wherever it resides.
