Odin from Lejre. Pic heavy

I wanted to share todays wonderful arrival of the silver bead Odin of Lejre by Max Andersen. The fifth picture is of the original artifact on display at the Roskilde Museum in Denmark. As with many of Max Andersens designs the bead is faithful to the original and beautifully detailed.
This is the sort of design I want to buy and wear. How can Trollbeads be getting it so, for me, wrong these days.
Now all Odin needs is a Faerybeads Valkyrie.

Stunning!

A friend tracked it down after seeing a picture on Trollbeads Gallery Forum. It's come from a shop in Roskilde Denmark, possibly Max Andersens shop.

The bead at 9 o'clock is by the blonde vikings apprentice Alex and is the Large Binding Man.

No online shop then  great bead and a true treasure   
Great to see the other side of the Binding Man bead too.

Truly stunning! It would be wonderful if you could could share contact information of the bead maker

Beautiful! Wish Trollbeads did more of this like they did in the past

I wish I'd known that after all the frustration and angst my firend went through. Where she got them didn't take paypal, Barclays stung her/us for £25 on the Bank Transfer, Grrrrrr

Still, he's here.

He is the most fabulous bead and so true to the original. 

Congrats! It's an awesome, very special bead. It sure was worth the hassle! Looks like you've also got amber fever... very lovely!

The bead is so lovely ... if troll made these kind of beads, I would go bankrupt....

This is magnificent!  Congrats Anita.

Could you show us the back of the bead and the bottom please!?
