Brass Vegvisir, Viking Compassby ~Vegvisir

Artisan Crafts / Metal Work

This Vegvisir is made of thin Hand embossed Brass, (Repousse), its similar to Bjork's tattoo but my own design.
It is 6" in diameter and in the center I have added a piece of Iolite. Iolite was a gem used by Vikings to find North during cloudy weather. When Iolite is cut into a proper cube, it shows different colors from different directions. It was this property called "pleochroism" that helped the Vikings to find the direction in overcast weather. The brass piece is offset mounted on a dark blue-green mat and framed.

I'm sorry that I'm unable to reply to all comments nowadays but I do appreciate them. Thank you for looking and for the kind comments!

where can I get one like this?

~daughterofbastet Jul 11, 2010

Please tell me there are more of these somewhere so I can buy one.

~Vegvisir Feb 6, 2011

Thank you! This was the only one that I made. I wish I could make more but the arthritis in my wrist has gotten so bad that I may never be able to do repoussé work again.

Sorry for the slow reply, I've been gone for a long time!

~daughterofbastet Feb 7, 2011

Aww

I'm sorry.

It's okay, better late than never! At least you were thoughtful enough to put a picture of it on DA, so I can look at it. Shiny...

Lovely design of an old magic symbol. The edges give it also a certain some thing

Vegvisir is always good when you have to find your way
