From an old Munich collection; acquired on the German art market before 2000. The pattern in the centre forms a swastika, a symbol sacred to the Anglo-Saxon god Thunar, whose name means “Thunder”. Thunar, who became Thor in Scandinavia, is the son of Wodan and the Earth. From his father, he inherited the powers of the air, of storm and wind; from his mother, he received his matchless might, both as an inherited part of his nature and through the gift of the belt Megingjardhr, the girdle of strength. Thunar is called upon to bring the beneficial storms which make the fields fruitful and to ward off the hail which destroys the crops. He is married to Sif, whose golden hair represents the fields of grain which the lightning of late summer was supposed to ripen. By her, he has fathered his daughter Thrúdr (“Strength”"). Thunar also fathered two sons, Módhi (“Courage”) and Magni (“Might”), with a giantess. [No Reserve] Fine condition.
