The story & symbolism
This candleholder is in honor of the god Thor. I call it a candleholder because I just need to have name for it, but in practice you can use the well he holds for many things, like plants, making little offerings to Thor, holding things and so on. We all know of wishing upon a well and this can be your portable wishwell or a vessel to talk with those who we cannot always see, but can feel around us.
Lushious beard and hair
Thor is known for his flowy beard and hair, which is wild like his nature. Therefore I've depicted him with a great beard, that is inpired by a statue found on Iceland which is believed to depict the god of thunder sitting on a chair, gripping his beard which has a similar look to it. The hair I've done in a similar fashion to keep the style coherent and it's supposed to symbolize thunder in the sky as well, striking down to Midgard.
Megingjörð belt
He also has a belt, forged by the dwarves which gives him extra strength. I've depicted it as a large wide powerlifting-like belt that’s enhanced with extra leather around it, to provide him more support when lifting or fighting giants.
Járngreipr gloves
In addition to a belt, he also has gloves. We do not know what they were made of, if they were fingerless or gloves with fingers, so here I've depicted them kinda gauntlet like and to keep with the strongman flow, they also are reminiscent of general MMA or light boxing gloves. Imagine these as having iron on top but the palm side from leather or cloth. These gloves are said to provide him with the ability to wield his mighty hammer Mjölnir and giving Thors hammer the ability to return to him every time he throws it.
Helmet with Torslunda plates
This shape of his helmet is of a more simple mans arsenal type, not a fancy one but helpful and practical regardless. On there are also plates which are inpsired by the Torslunda plates, those are plates which were used to make light bronze sheets that would decorate helmets and several such decorated helmets have been found from Valsgärde, Sweden and date to the Vendel/Migration era. The place there were found Torslunda also means Tors Lunda so in English Thors Grove.
Hymisketill cauldron
He is holding the cauldron of Hymir, which was a cauldron that Thor was tasked to bring to Aegir, so the gods could have a great feast there. In this rendition he has asked the dwarved to decorate it with two goats and the hammer Mjölnir. The rams are there because Thor posseses a chariot that is pulled by goats, which he can slay and revive to infinitely eat.

How to measure
Items are measured by being laid flat on the ground, not by circumference. If you have any items that fit you well, lay them on the ground and measure them to get the best fit
