Replication horse head candlestick
Locations in Scandinavia/Central Europe
Height of approx. 24 cm, diameter approx. 16 cm
The horse in the form of Sleipnir was always an attribute Odins and as a wind horse it also represented the compass card. So the four heads may point out to directions on the four, these refer to the sky dwarves the north, Ostr, Sudr and Westr, as we still find them in the Viking age.
The provable finds in Yugoslavia could be explained by the migration of the people time of the west Goths.
The candlestick was used presumably for cult purposes in connection with Odin or also Thor with the wish on good weather for the fertility of the fields or for travelling weather at the voyage ...!its great area of distribution therefore suggests a great ritualistic importance.
By the christianisation much old knowledge and old tradition have been lost.
Customers over this candlestick knows, please would like to contact us so that we can complete our information, the near.
By the new distribution of this candlestick a piece of folk art and heathen tradition almost forgotten shall be fetched out again and therefore old customs almost forgotten revive. The candlestick was carved from 4 pieces of oak. Carving requires the much time and knowledge in this manual art since must about the 4 piece tack be fitted in each other exactly and be everything lined up evenly symmetrically! A quality which is worth its price.
