The story & symbolism
The symbol on this piece comes from Överhogdal, Sweden - and is believed to depict Yggdrasil. There was a tapestry found in that town, that first was believed to date to the medieval times - fantastic find! But on further researched, it turned out this was much, much older. This likely reaches back into the viking age and maybe even deeper. Thus the symbolism on this piece became under question. There are animals with many legs on it - perhaps Sleipnir? Perhaps they symbolize animals running fast as Ragnarök is arriving.
On this design I've only used the Yggdrasil from that desin, and the look is kinda knitted looking, to pay homage to the tapestry. And it symbolizes between the light and dark, how the great tree, that even the god Odin himself hung from, is connected between the land of the dead and of the living. The white symbolizes the living world and the dark symbolizes the otherside.
