The deer is an auspicious symbol associated with the Sun, sunrise, light, purity, renewal, rebirth, creation, and spirituality. Due to the resemblance of deer antlers to branches, the image of a deer is associated with the Tree of Life. In addition, deer antlers symbolize the sun's rays and fertility. An adult male deer is a solar emblem of abundance.

Deer also appear as wonderful messengers and guides, showing the heroes the way to their goal. Deer are credited with healing powers, especially the ability to seek out medicinal herbs. In the visual arts, a deer wounded by an arrow and holding a bunch of medicinal herbs in its mouth is a symbol of love languor. The deer, in addition, symbolizes caution and keen hearing.

The most characteristic signs of a deer are swiftness, grace, and beauty; maybe that's why the deer is associated with poetry and music.

In the mythology of the peoples of Europe and the Middle East, the deer often acts as a faithful companion of the gods of the moon and the hunt.

The Syrian patron god of hunting, Ashima, was depicted as a proud deer. The swift-footed deer is an attribute of the Greek goddess of the moon and hunting Artemis and the Roman Diana.

Among the Celts, the deer is a symbol of the Sun, fertility, and vitality, dignity, masculinity, speed, a mediator between the world of the gods and the world of people. The Celts believed that the deer was the main animal in the magical herds of the gods. Norse deer antlers were considered a symbolic representation of the branches of a tree. Branches of horns, like branches and leaves on trees, were considered symbols of rebirth and reproduction. The Celtic god Cernunnos, associated with the cycles of death and rebirth of nature, was depicted with branched antlers or with a deer and a bull standing at his feet. The legends feature a white deer, which was for the Celts a mystical animal that appeared on earth from the Other World and possessed the gift of wisdom and omniscience.

In Norse mythology, four deer nibble the leaves of the Yggdrasil world tree. In addition, the deer Eikturmir ("with oak-tipped horns") and the goat Heidrun eat its leaves while standing on the roof of Valhalla.

All peoples of the world recognized the deer as an exclusively positive poetic symbol of purity, light, creation, abundance, and spirituality. In the sensitive habit of the forest beauty, people saw prudent caution, and the ability to change old horns for new ones - the emblem of renewal and rebirth.

We tried to do it for you with great pleasure and put effort into this wooden sculpture, a Viking statue from the ash tree for your complete delight.

The design of our wooden deer figurines is a one-of-a-kind artwork created by my team and me.
