Hand-forged iron Mjölnir as a pendant.
This iron Mjölnir was forged by hand from a single piece based on historical models from the Viking Age.
A whole series of forged iron Mjölnir pendants are known from the Viking Age, which archaeologists have found during excavations.
The iron Mjölnir is 3.5 cm long and 3 cm wide.
The forged Mjölnir can be worn around the neck as an amulet with the leather strap provided.
In the 9th and 10th centuries, the Mjölnir, as the Thor's hammer was called by the Vikings, was very popular as a piece of jewellery, as it allowed pagans to distance themselves from the increasing rise of Christianity.
In addition to precious Thor's hammers made of bronze or even silver, forged iron Mjölnir pendants can often be found in archaeological finds from the Viking Age.
The Vikings called the Thor's hammer Mjölnir, which meant crusher or lightning because the Thor's hammer was the magical war hammer of the Norse god Thor. He used the Mjölnir to fight the giants and the Midgard Serpent. Once he had thrown the Mjölnir, it always returned to Thor's hand of its own accord.
