Thor's hammer, known as the wolf cross, was found at the Icelandic site of Fossi (10th-11th centuries AD), and it says something that the Vikings of Iceland were still very much connected in spirit to their homeland somewhere on the wooded Scandinavian peninsula, for there are no wolves in Iceland. Today, the original is on display at the National Museum of Iceland in Reykjavik. Mjöllnir is a magical weapon that belongs to the god Thor. According to legend, only Thor and his son Magni can heal the hammer, and for that he needs magic gloves and a belt. Mjöllnir means "crusher". The dimensions of the original are 3 x 5 cm. Often this hammer of Thor is also called "thewolf's cross". The dimensions of the wolf cross are 2.2 x 4.1 cm. Material: tin alloy, finish: French silver.
