Questions about the product Large wolf cross made of Soar wood - 46 cm

What type of wood is the 46 cm tall wolf cross made of, and what two different religious symbols does this traditional Icelandic design combine?

The 46 cm tall Wolf Cross is made of high-quality Soar wood. This traditional Icelandic design combines the Christian cross with the pagan Thor's hammer (Mjölnir).
What symbolic meaning is attributed to the wolf's head at the end of the cross, and what does this amulet symbolize in relation to the forces of nature?

The wolf's head at the end of the cross symbolizes the animal's intelligence and agility, which is why the amulet also represents qualities such as cunning and vitality. In relation to the forces of nature, it symbolizes the life-giving power of the sun and embodies the recognition of ancient natural forces alongside Christian values.
In what way does the combination of Thor's hammer and Christian cross reflect the religious upheaval in medieval Iceland, and why is the design often referred to as "Vargkors"?

The Wolf Cross, dating from the 10th to 11th centuries, represents a transitional form combining the Christian cross and the pagan Thor's hammer, thus symbolizing the religious syncretism during the Christianization of Iceland. The name Vargkor derives from the Old Norse word *vargr* for wolf, as the pendant is adorned at the top with a distinctive animal head, often interpreted as a wolf.
