Kabbarp Skåne Thor’s Hammer Amber Sterling Silver Size L

Kabbarp Skåne Thor’s Hammer Amber Sterling Silver Size L

Replica based on the find from Kabbarp near Staffanstorp in Skåne, Sweden.

Kabbarp Thor’s Hammer from Southern Sweden is probably the most famous and incredibly ornamented Thor’s Hammer from the Viking Age.

Everyone knows the front of this Hammer; it is a fantastic work of jewellery art. The back of this amulet is less known and devoid of ornaments. It is a thin plate covering the hollowed body of the hammer.

The plate covering the back of the amulet is strangely deformed. This deformation is not accidental.

For a long time, it was a mystery to me. The puzzle was solved after a conversation with Johan Carlsson, a Viking re-enactor from Sweden who has extensive knowledge about this amulet and also other jewellery from the Viking Age.

Look at the photos below, and everything will be clear.

I prepared a sample replica for you where you can look inside the amulet and see what caused this mysterious pattern on the back. This is quite a surprising solution. The artist who created this beautiful amulet, wanting to protect the back made of a thin plate, placed a kind of ribbing supporting the back plate inside the hammer. The back plate was so thin and soft that it was subjected to minor damage impacts during use, resulting in concavities, creating mysterious wave patterns

 

In Norse mythology, Mjölnir is the hammer of Thor, a major Norse god associated with thunder. Mjölnir is depicted in Norse mythology as one of the most fearsome and powerful weapons capable of levelling mountains. The hammer was made by the dwarven brothers Eitri and Brokkr.
Thor’s hammer, or Mjolnir, is a powerful Nordic protective amulet, a symbol of man’s creative powers. It is really powerful protection from any negative energy. Protects from curses by neutralising them. Thor’s hammer gives confidence in your own abilities.

This replica is unique in the Viking reenactment market because it is made the same as the original, with a soldered backplate. In the middle of the amulet is an embedded natural Baltic amber diameter of 4mm.
