The story & symbolism
The god of the sky, the thunderer - associated with lightning and thunder. He is likely a very old deity as we have evidence of a god names Perkwunos. He is also associated with the oak and was one of the five gods in the pagan temple in Kiev - he was depicted with a golden moustache and similary to Thor being associated with the hammer he was tied to the use of axes with many pendants being found from pre-christian times that are shaped like axeheads and bear symbols attributed to Perun. He was a god amongst the Slavic people and Baltic people, as well as stretching back in time to many other cultures.
Head
Depicted with the golden moustache that is also a reference to his association with the oak as the moustache is shaped like the roots of an oak as well as having tree bark texutre. He is also featured with a helmet found in Kiev that is dated to around the 10th-11th century and the top of the helmet is similar to many Slavic helmets found from that same time.
Axe and armor
Seen wielding a twohanded axe which head is decorated as a reference to his association with the axe as well as a scale armor that seems to have been unique to Slavic people.
Nine sons
His back features nine long figures, which are inspired by the popularity of pole-like deity posts amongs Slavic paganism. These represent Peruns nine sons - holding spears and guarding him in all directions.
Symbol of perun
On the back of his helmet can be seen a symbol which has been attributed to the thunder god Perun himself.

This piece is exactly like what is pictured. Beautifully designed amulet that really gives of an aged, ancient feel, especially in brass. Love it :)

Once again, another lovely piece as usual. After a long, long wait due to shipping issues (Not the fault of Valhyr, understand this), he arrived with his mum and I was finally able to create my necklaces as usual, which I'm always excited for. It's always a great day when my Valhyr items arrive.

The pendant is beyond amazing. Super happy with it. Will definitely buy from again and recommend to other believers. Only wish is that the linen string that comes with the pendant be a lot longer, I wasn't able to use the string for anything due to its short length. Fantastic work nontheless!

So I've had this guy for a few years now and its litteraly become a personal treasure, not only does it mark a huge feat in my life, it's also the first crack in my egg. Also after years of daily wear it still looks new. Quality is amazing

I am absolutely in love with this amulet! It is beyond beautiful and truly perfect. The craftsmanship is incredibly detailed, and the design is just stunning. I love that it’s a bit heavier than most necklaces, which gives it a really nice, solid feel. The delivery was also incredibly fast—within a week—and there were no issues at all.The only thing I noticed is a small tear/hole in the front of the amulet, in the middle of the fishnet design. I don't mind it at all personally (just hoping it won't cause any problems with the amulet in the future).Overall, this amulet is a work of art and I wear it all the time. Thank you so much!

I have had it for some months now and its by far my favorite piece of jewelry.Nice weight and detail.

Very happy once again. I bought this amulet to replace an older, much smaller that I have, which is not nearly so good looking as this one is. Thanks again, Valhyr!

Absolutely gorgeous amulet! It looks exactly as in the pictures and it is pretty solid and heavy, not a hollow piece. Welcome, Skadi, your presence blesses our home!

A beautiful tribute to Thor. I have always used a paracord bracelet with Mjolnir attached to it. Over time I have added little stones and such to add to it, but I could never truly get a fine center piece to bring it all together. Not only does this pendant do just that, but like all the casts I have, it acts as a fine shrine on the go.The actual craftsmanship behind it is not only finely stylized, but well thought out and reminiscent of old statues from the old days. A very fine touch! And now that it is storm season here again, It is a lovely way to pay tribute and pray for good protection during its worse times. I couldn't be happier!
