Large Celtic Norse Nordic Scandanavian Viking Wood Carved Folk Art Pagan Totem
About the Item
A large, heavy, intricately carved, rather engaging wood folk art pagan totem figure of a woman carrying a three-headed fish with the God of Wind (North wind or perhaps an Anemoi) symbol above her head. Her captivating yet stoic gaze and mesmerizing and somewhat haunting eyes stare directly at her audience. Her attire/robe is decorated with various flowers, symbols, and a pair of Phoenix birds.
We are not sure of the exact nature of the piece but believe it to be either Celtic (Irish) or more likely Scandinavian (Norse, Nordic, Finnish, Norwegian, Viking). The three-headed fish symbol eludes us.
The piece is carved from one solid, heavy piece of wood/log.
We are listing it as 19th-20th century but it could be older.
A rather unique and we are assuming rare work. Would make for a great addition to any folk art/Celtic/Scandinavian artifacts collection or an eye-catching stand-alone accent piece in about any setting.
