Dagr — the radiant Norse god of Day — rides his gleaming horse Skinfaxi across the sky each dawn, his mane scattering light across the world. This hand-carved Norse mythology statue captures his luminous presence in warm ecological ash wood, finished with a smooth lacquer coat that honours the natural grain of the timber.
Each piece is individually crafted — no two are identical. The natural variation in ash wood grain means your Dagr statue is a singular object, shaped by hand in Ukraine.
