Odin’s Ravens Seax

Their image appears across the material culture of the Viking Age, from runestones to jewellery to blade decoration, as one of the most potent symbols of the Norse world. This seax carries their image on a carved bone grip, connecting its owner to the wisdom and watchfulness of the Allfather.

Jelling Style Langseax

Named after royal burial mounds at Jelling, Denmark, the style flourished from approximately 925 to 975 CE under the patronage of King Gorm the Old and his son Harald Bluetooth. This langseax carries that artistic tradition into one of the most formidable blade forms of the period.

Anglo-Saxon Bone Grip Seax
SKU: AH2019The seax was the universal blade of the early medieval Germanic world — carried by Anglo-Saxon men and women, Norse warriors and Frankish soldiers alike from the 5th through the 11th century. More than any other object, it defines the material culture of the period: the Saxons themselves took their name from this blade, and it appears in everything from legal codes to epic poetry. The carved bone grip of this mid-sized example reflects the personal investment Anglo-Saxon owners made in their blades.
