P687- Helm Of Awe Ravenskull

This raven’s skull has been engraved upon its head with the Icelandic stave symbol, ‘Aegishjalmur’, or ‘Helm of Awe’, to imbue its wearer with mighty power and to instil fear into his enemies hearts.

The Norse god Odin’s twin ravens would daily spy on mankind and then fly to him and tell him of all of their deeds and exploits.

Near life-sized raven’s skull in pewter.
