The blood eagle is a ritualised method of execution, detailed in late skaldic poetry. It appears in just two instances in Norse literature, both sharing certain commonalities: the victims are both noblemen - Halfdan Haaleg was a prince and Ì Aella of Northumbria a king. Both executions were in retaliation for the murder of a father.
This blister contains one Odin figure. Weapon and 25mm round base included.
Warning! Not suitable for children under 3 years of age. Small parts. Choking hazard.
