Mjölnir · hammer head
Hammer head
A broad, compact hammer head with beveled striking faces and a central socket. Its silhouette is an original interpretation.
The Edda describes a powerful hammer whose handle was unusually short. It does not provide a manufacturing drawing or a fixed decorative scheme.
Inspect the contours and attachment to adjacent pieces. Separation is an explanatory display, not a claim about ancient construction.
Original Logan Pendragon Forge geometry. Mythological symbolism is documented separately from modern ornament; this is not an archaeological replica.
Interlaced head ornament
Hammer head
Raised interlacing lines and border studs distinguish the front and back of the head.
This ornament is a modern museum design. It is not an ancient inscription, a readable rune text or a claimed magical formula.
Inspect the contours and attachment to adjacent pieces. Separation is an explanatory display, not a claim about ancient construction.

Socket and neck collar
Handle & fittings
A reinforced collar meets the haft beneath the hammer head.
The socket is an explanatory construction choice for this object, not a feature measured from a divine weapon.
Inspect the contours and attachment to adjacent pieces. Separation is an explanatory display, not a claim about ancient construction.

Short haft
Handle & fittings
The short handle contrasts with the broad head and gives the object a compact profile.
The short handle is a recognizable detail in the Edda story of the hammer’s making. Exact length and timber species are not specified by this model.
Inspect the contours and attachment to adjacent pieces. Separation is an explanatory display, not a claim about ancient construction.

Spiral grip binding
Handle & fittings
A continuous wrapped grip gives a tactile rhythm along the handle.
The binding is an artistic practical detail, not a documented requirement of the myth.
Inspect the contours and attachment to adjacent pieces. Separation is an explanatory display, not a claim about ancient construction.

Pommel and suspension loop
Handle & fittings
A capped handle end supports a small suspension loop.
The loop is our display design. It should not be confused with an excavated pendant suspension fitting.
Inspect the contours and attachment to adjacent pieces. Separation is an explanatory display, not a claim about ancient construction.

Hammer pendant · type study
Pendant
A miniature hammer-shaped pendant is shown beside the larger storytelling object. The two have deliberately different display scales.
Viking-Age hammer pendants are material evidence of a worn symbol. This is a newly modeled type study, not a reproduction of a named find.
Inspect the contours and attachment to adjacent pieces. Separation is an explanatory display, not a claim about ancient construction.

Pendant surface ornament
Pendant
Small circular marks decorate the face of the miniature hammer.
Punched decoration occurs on historical metalwork; the arrangement here is original and carries no asserted readable message.
Inspect the contours and attachment to adjacent pieces. Separation is an explanatory display, not a claim about ancient construction.

Modern display supports
Display
Two dark supports present the hammer and the pendant for comparison.
Display supports are modern gallery furniture. The objects are not shown at a shared archaeological scale.
Inspect the contours and attachment to adjacent pieces. Separation is an explanatory display, not a claim about ancient construction.
