Viking Type K Axe with Etched Norse Wolf Design

Petersen's Type K dates to roughly 900-1030 AD and is defined by shallow, rounded spurs, a notably short eye, and a long, gently curved blade - among the more refined later Viking Age forms, contemporary with the type's growing use as a marker of a warrior's status rather than a purely practical tool.

Deepeeka's reproduction finishes both faces of the head with a wolf-motif Norse knotwork design, drawing on the wolf's place in Norse mythology and material culture as a recurring symbol of ferocity and, in figures like Fenrir and Odin's companions Geri and Freki, deep cosmological significance.
