EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Viking stele from Tjangvide, Alskog, Gotland, Sweden. The stele depicts the legendary horse Sleipnir, belonging to the Norse god Odin and born from his mischievous brother Loki. Against a striking black background, this artefact stands out in vivid color and intricate detail. The image was expertly captured in a studio setting by photographer CM Dixon at the Museum of National Antiquities in Stockholm. Its presence evokes an aura of religious significance as it represents one of the most iconic figures in Norse mythology. Sleipnir is not just any ordinary horse; he possesses eight legs instead of four, making him unparalleled in speed and agility. As Odin's trusted companion and mount, Sleipnir carries his master across worlds with ease. This photograph serves as a window into ancient Scandinavian culture and beliefs. It transports us back to a time when gods and goddesses were revered as divine beings who played significant roles in people's lives. With its historical importance and artistic value, this Viking stele offers viewers an opportunity to delve into the rich tapestry of Norse mythology while admiring the craftsmanship that went into creating such an extraordinary piece. This print is truly a testament to our enduring fascination with ancient civilizations and their profound spiritual connections with animals like Sleipnir.
