Iron Thor's Hammer (Mjölnir) Pendant, Classical Shape
Mjölnir (= the grinder or crusher) is the mighty hammer of Thor, the Norse god of thunder and second highest deity after his father Odin. According to mythology, Mjölnir was forged by the dwarf Brokkr and, once thrown, would never miss its target. It was with this very hammer that Thor defeated the giants who incessantly threatened the Vanir and the Æsir pantheons. And the Midgard Serpent also had to experience Mjölnir's power.
Nowadays, Thor's hammer is a popular motif for jewellery and talismans. It is also a symbol of paganism within a Christian environment.
The mjölnir is a hand-forged three-piece construction.
