The story & symbolism
The protector of mankind and Midgard, this amulet was inspired by mainly by the stories and legends on Thor. My main focus was to depict him as a commoner, someone relatable but also of great authority. I've also made a video on how I create him from scratch that you can watch here on my youtube. Made from bronze and as with all my male deities, he can be worn by the neck.
Head design
As Thor is the protector of mankind and their realm he is featured with a hood, this is a reference to the regular people and in medieval Europe this type of attire was very common - so it's my way of associating him with the commoners. He is seen with a focused and strong face but the beard can give it a happy look as well - this is to symbolize his personality that goes from one end of the mood spectrum to the other.
Chest design
Seen holding his beard that evolves into three dots, it's inspired by a statue found in Iceland that features a similar design and is believed to be Thor.
Back design
Another reference to the common man, this is to symbolize a gambeson - something warriors would wear either on their own or accompanied with a chainmail on top. I don't know how accessible gambesons were though, but most art is depicted with people wearing them so that's why I'm assuming it was a pretty accesible item for those who decided to part-take in a little fisticuffs encounter here and there.
Inspired by
This is the figure that was found in Iceland. It's believed to be Thor because his beard turns into somewhat of a hammer shape - perhaps a reference to Mjölnir. While this can be a reach, I was mostly inspired by this find and made my own take on it.
