The story & symbolism
Ullr is a god that was once very important to the people of the north but besides numerous placenames around Sweden and Norway not much remains of him in terms of written sources. He was associated with skiing, hunting, shields, glory, oaths and duels. His name means glory or the glorious one and the place where he is said to have resided was filled with yew trees, which are perfect for making skiis and bows as well as the perfect habitat for wildlife. I've depicted him as somewhat of a mysterious hunter with a hood thats a bear head. With him wearing a shield on his back as this was a kenning used back in those times where a shield could be called Ullrs ship. A pair of skiis and a quiver can also be found on his back and he is seen holding a bow.
Headwear
He is seen with a bearcap as his headgear as a reference to hunting and wildlife and he can be worn by the neck as all male gods I've done
A shield, skiis and a quiver
Since his association with shields, skiing and hunting he has references to these aspects that he wears on his back while tracking through land
Coat and bow
