This cuff was embossed with our Ægishjálmur (Helm of Awe) design, which is presented in stark simplicity and deep, powerful lines as part of our Norse Magical Stave series. This highly detailed variation on the ancient original design, our Ægishjálmur II Interchangeable Flap design offers a union of the rustic runes with historically inspired elegance. Celtic Leatherworks offers an artist’s interpretation of this ancient symbol, encircled with Younger Futhark runes, and finished to the same excellent standards we hold for all of our leather goods.

Colors may vary slightly due to the nature of hand stain.

Description

About the Ægishjálmur (Helm of Awe):
Presented in stark simplicity and deep, powerful lines, Celtic Leatherworks offers this classic Ægishjálmur in our Norse Magical Stave series. 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.
