THE NORDIC RAVENS CUFF

$50.00$75.00

This wide cuff is made from top-grain vegetable-tanned leather and has been embossed with a Celtic Leatherworks original design by Vitor Gonzalez! Based on the knotwork and proportions of ancient Viking and Celtic art, our Nordic Ravens came to life as a fierce and complex tribute to the rich history and tradition associated with this creature for over a millennia.

The color of the cuff may vary slightly due to the nature of the hand-rubbed stain.

Description

About the Nordic Raven:
Iconic in cultures throughout the ancient Western world, the raven is prevalent in Norse mythology and art. According to the 13th century Poetic Edda, Odin-the-Allfather had an enduring kinship with two ravens, respectively called Huginn (thought) and Muninn (memory). However, ravens have been accorded a special place in Norse lore long before the Edda was composed: the fragmentary 9th-century Hrafnsmál (“Song of Ravens”) documents a conversation between a Valkyrie and a raven. The shared stewardship of fallen warriors binds Valkyries and ravens together, though ravens have yet another connection to the battlefield: for at least three centuries, the flags and standards of Vikings featured this important feathered icon, including the legendary Landøyðan (“Land Waster”), Harald Hardrada’s infamous personal banner.
