His name is cognate with the Proto-Germanic word for god, and in the earliest Germanic traditions he was the sky father, the lawgiver, the one who held the order of the cosmos together. By the Viking Age his role had narrowed but deepened: he became the god of justice, of oaths, of the courage required to uphold what is right when it is costly to do so.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe story of Fenrir is the story that defines him. The gods needed to bind the great wolf before he could bring about Ragnarök, but Fenrir would only allow the binding if one of the gods placed a hand in his mouth as a pledge of good faith. Tyr volunteered. When the binding held and Fenrir realised he had been deceived, he bit off Tyr's hand. Tyr lost the hand. The world was protected. Among the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/norse-statues\"\u003eNorse gods\u003c\/a\u003e, he is the one who understood that justice sometimes requires sacrifice — and made that sacrifice without hesitation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaterial: ecological ash wood\u003cbr\u003eFinish: varnish\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 8.1 in \/ 20.5 cm × 4 in \/ 10.2 cm × 1.6 in \/ 4 cm\u003cbr\u003eTechnique: hand-carved\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: crafted in Ukraine\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAsatru and Norse pagan practitioners who work with Tyr in devotional practice.
