The Ægishjálmur I: Helm of Awe Sporran

$210.00$235.00

Our Ægishjálmur I Helm of Awe Sporran is made from premium black leather and has been outfitted with our Ægishjálmur I Interchangeable Flap. Inspired by the magical staves used as talismans by ancient Viking cultures, our Ægishjálmur design is presented in stark simplicity with deep, powerful lines as part of our Norse Magical Stave series. Our classic Ægishjálmur is pulled from the pages of a 17th-century Icelandic grimoire, the original illustration translated to leather.

Made from hand-selected top grain vegetable tanned leather, the Interchangeable Sporran Flap comes in various finishes including Classic, Chocolate, and Bronze, and has been distressed to give it an Old World feel. The color may vary slightly due to the nature of the hand-rubbed stain.

Sporran cords are accented with a variety of metal beads. Bead style may vary on each bag.

Description

About the Ægishjálmur (Helm of Awe):
Ritualistic in nature, Magical Staves were used by men and women in Viking cultures for a variety of purposes. Some served as general protective icons, intended as a form of visual prayer. Others were more specialized in intent and function and covered topics from the extraordinary (to make oneself invisible) to the mundane (favorable weather for fishing).

Though the Ægishjálmur was first mentioned in the Poetic Eddas, no extant contemporary example has been identified. However, the tradition of the Ægishjálmur remained a key feature of Norse culture for centuries.

About Our Sporrans:
Like all of our products, our sporran is made from hand in our workshop right here in the USA. We hand select the beads on our leather drawstring cords to complement the bag, though bead colors may vary depending on what we have in stock.
This is the largest capacity sporran that we offer. It can easily accommodate a phone, wallet, keys, and more.

All of our themed sporrans come with an interchangeable flap that can be switched out for any other flap on our site, providing your bag with more versatility!

Functionality:
The bag utilizes a leather drawstring cord to close the bag at the top. The second leather cord is used to loop over the concho or clasp on the flap to hold it closed. The back of the sporran is reinforced at the top with vegetable-tanned leather. The flap attaches to the back of the bag at the top with heavy-duty snaps. There are two D-rings to attach the sporran to a belt. The loop will comfortably fit on a 2.5-inch belt should you choose to wear it that way.

Dimensions:
Flap only – 4.5 in W x 6 in L
Rob Roy Style Sporran Pouch only – 8.5 in W x 9 in H*
*By design, our sporran includes quite a few folds in the leather and is expandable beyond these dimensions.
