VALKYRIE STATUE9156 by PACIFIC GIFTWARE In Norse mythology, a Valkyrie (from Old Norse valkyrja "chooser of the slain") is one of a host of female figures who choose those who may die in battle and those who may live. Standing 13 inches tall, this impressive statue is made of quality cold-cast resin, is armed with shield and sword, and is endowed with hand painted details that are certain to lure the eye. In fact, such is her mission; to lure chosen warriors through death to join forces with Odin in Valhalla. What can we say, she is good at her job. So a question remains. To whose lives do her powers extend? Does this Valkyrie employ enough powers of attraction to lure you? Only the gods know for certain. Oh and did we mention, her base bottom is lined with a soft felt to protect any display surface she chooses to rest upon. See you in Valhalla!

THE VALKYRIE
A valkyrie (pronounced “VAL-ker-ee”; Old Norse valkyrja, plural valkyrjur, “choosers of the fallen”) is a female helping spirit of the god Odin. The modern image of the valkyries as elegant, noble maidens bearing dead heroes to Valhalla is largely accurate for what it is, but a highly selective portrayal that exaggerates their pleasant qualities. To some extent, this tendency toward sanitization is present even in the later Old Norse sources, which focus on their love affairs with human men and their assisting Odin in transporting his favorites among those slain in battle to Valhalla, where they will fight by his side during Ragnarok.
