Product description

The carving depicts Hugin, Odin's raven, sitting on a crescent decorated with Celtic knot motifs and a triskelion. As one of the two ravens that accompany Odin, Hugin represents the concept of thought and contemplation. According to the myth, Hugin flies around the world every day to gather information and returns in the evening to report to Odin. The name "Hugin" is derived from the Old Norse word for "thought" or "contemplation," which emphasises the intellectual and reflective qualities of this raven. Together with his companion Munin, who represents memory, Hugin forms a symbolic pair that provides Odin with valuable knowledge. Odin's raven has inspired many artists and writers over the centuries and remains a fascinating aspect of Norse mythology. The triskelion is a Celtic symbol that represents the present, the past, and the future. This wood carving is a beautiful work of art for your wall and makes a distinctive, unique gift. It may optionally be painted or stained should you wish to hang it in the garden. The carvings may also be placed against a wall, on a home altar, on a bookshelf, or in any number of other settings.
