The story & symbolism
The god associated with justice, bravery and war. The Tyr's amulet features elements from his lore, archaeological finds and personality - I tried to make him look brave and warlike but in a tactical way rather than being very bulky and strong-looking.

Bird motive and neckhole
Tyr can be found on bracteates often depicted with birds, I've made his head incorporate the same birds. I'll list the bracteate influences down below.
T rune and swordhandle maybe?
