Loki Bound Statue Hand Carved and Hand Painted

This standing statue depicts Loki in limbo, bound to a rock and waiting until he can break free for Ragnarok, destroying a corrupted world to make way for a new one. He's depicted as he is in myth, bound to the rock with the remains of his children, tragically sacrificed by the gods to punish Loki for daring to state the truth of their actions out loud during the Lokasenna. His hair is rendered in crimson with a wash of gold over top, calling in his flame associations. A massive snake winds its way around him, hissing into his face, representing the snake which Skadi hangs above his head, endlessly dripping venom onto his face. His wife, Sigyn, usually holds a bowl above his head to catch this venom, but has here stepped away to empty her full bowl. In these moments, the venom finally reaches Loki, causing him to thrash in his bounds: this was what the folk of the time understood to be the cause of earthquakes.

We offer this statue to those who work with Loki, honoring the suffering this deity has gone through. Loki has survived more than anyone should be asked to, and this statue is a symbol of that. This statue calls in the Wounded Healer aspect of Loki, that he may show us to survive our traumas and suffering, as he does.

This statue stands upright at 3.75 inches tall and 6 inches wide, with a 1.5 inch wide base that allows it to stand upright freely without support. Each statue is made with bonded charcoal, calling in his associations with flame, before it is hand-painted with red and gold acrylic paint.
