"Eikthyrnir" pendant, 925 sterling silver

This pendant is modeled after an 11th-century Urnes-style brooch and is made of 925 sterling silver.

The Germanic Edda tells of the stag Eikthyrnir, who eats the leaves of the tree Yggdrasil in Valhalla.
Eikthyrnir is a stag that stands on the roof of Valhalla and gnaws at the branches of the tree Lærad.

The Prose Edda says: From his antlers drips water to Hvergelmir, from which all streams originate.

Eikthyrnir is a magnificent stag with enormous antlers from Norse mythology.

The Edda:
The Song of Grimnir...

It says there:
Eikthyrnir is the name of the stag in front of the hall of the Allfather,
who feeds on Lärad's arbor.
It drips from his antlers towards Hwergelmir:
All currents originate from this.

Eikþyrnir heitir hjörtr,
er stendr höllu á
ok bítr af Læraðs limum;
en af ​​hans hornum
drýpr í Hvergelmi,
þaðan eiga vötn öll vega:

Eikthyrnir stands on the roof of Valhalla and gnaws at the branches of the protective tree Lärad, which stands in the middle of Odin's hall in Walla: the world tree "Yggdrasil".
Perhaps “Lärad” refers to the World Tree / Yggdrasil, or the protective crown of the tree.
From Eikthyrnir's antlered horn flows the water Hvergelmir, from which all streams are fed. Hvergelmir is the primal source of the wellsprings of primordial creation, and thus the very source of creation itself.
