Drawn up defiantly with his mighty hammer Mjolnir raised above his head and the loyal goats, Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjostr, who pulled his chariot by his feet, this formidable statue of Thor presents a fantastic image. As the Norse god of lightning and a frequent protector of the Gods and humanity, Thor is depicted here in cold-cast resin, poised upon a cloud as though preparing to hurl lightning from his magical hammer, to smite some unseen foe or perhaps to cause the storms he lorded over from on high. Richly detailed, even down to the engraving on the belt that girds his fur, this is a delightful piece for all who would celebrate the Norse god.
