The Viking Sun Story:
The Viking Sun is part of the Sun Series and is inspired by Viking design and Sun Deity worship.
The Viking Sun features the Norse Sun Goddess, Sunna's face at its centre, encircled with Ginfaxi symbol styled arms radiating and rotating around the sun disc. The sun linework is stained black with the eyes a bright orange colour and sits in a wood stained background.
The Sun Deity (Sunna) in Viking Art
Sunna is the Norse Goddess of the Sun, also known as Sól, though some hold that Sól is the mother and Sunna Her daughter. In Norse mythology, the Sun is female while the Moon is male. Sól ("Mistress Sun"), drives the chariot of the Sun across the sky every day. Pulled by the horses Allsvinn ("Very Fast") and Arvak ("Early Rising"), the Sun-chariot is pursued by the wolf Skoll. It is said that sometimes he comes so close that he is able to take a bite out of the Sun, causing an eclipse. Sol's father is Mundilfari, and She is the sister of Måni, the Moon-god, and the wife of Glaur or Glen ("Shine"). As Sunna, She is a healer.
Ginfaxi Stave
The exact meaning or origin of the Ginfaxi Stave (Icelandic Magical Symbol) is up for debate. Such staves were used as purely magical symbols and not as runic letters, so they often didn’t have a specific meaning – just a use. Ginfaxi was used in the Nordic form of glima wrestling to infuse the fighter with power and used as a good luck symbol.
Creating the Viking Sun
I created the Viking Sun design in Auckland, starting with a digital illustration, then bringing the illustration into my CNC Program where I design the cutting paths. From the paths I generate the g-code or CNC cutting code ready for the carving process. The material is loaded on the CNC machine and the piece is carved in around an hour. The carved art piece is then inspected, sanded, coloured, varnished and finally a hanging wire installed.
As you can see to create this sculpted piece there are many processes involved making it a truly special and bespoke item.
Packaging:
The item will be packaged with bubble wrapping inside a cardboard outer box.
Delivery:
The item will be couriered to your chosen destination. Courier and Shipping times TBC
