Viking Warrior Metal Tin Sign Norse Viking Metal Sign

Orange beard, turquoise knotwork.

A Norse warrior stares straight out from the center of the disc, blue eyes level under a teal helmet set with a gold boss and two long pale horns. His beard is the loudest thing here — plaited orange rope that fills the bottom half of the circle, worked into thick sections with small blue beads caught in it. Behind his shoulders the ground is a dense turquoise interlace, the endless over-under knot the Norse cut into doorposts and grave markers. A narrow brown rim with a repeating key pattern closes the edge.

The whole thing is printed to look like painted woodcarving — shadow banked under the horns, a highlight along each strand of the beard. Run a hand across it and the surface is smooth and flat.

Good on a workshop wall, a garage door, or the shelf where the drinking horn lives. The color carries from across a room, so it works as a gift for a re-enactor, for someone keeping a Norse hearth altar, or for anyone who came to the tradition through the sagas rather than the television.
