Replica of the Raven Amulet of Sigtuna.
This detailed replica of a Thor's hammer in the shape of a bird's head with filigree decoration was modelled on the raven amulet from Sigtuna in the south of Sweden.
The bird-headed Thor's hammer from Sigtuna is an exceptional example of Viking jewellery craftsmanship and unique in this form. The original was made from pure gold in an elaborate granulation technique.

The Swedish town of Sigtuna on Lake Mälaren is considered, along with Lund, to be the oldest town in Sweden still existing today. Sigtuna was founded around 980 by King Erik Segersäll. He thus replaced Birka as the most important trading settlement up to then.
It is possible that the king wanted to establish a purely Christian town on the Mälaren, which was to reorganise the balance of power in the kingdom and bring it to an end with the pagan Birka.
