[200] Icelandic Dragon, Landvættir [Silver] Ceramic Ornament

Introducing “Sacred Symbols” Collection by C.7 Design Studio. Here you will find customisable products, featuring Icelandic Dragon – one of the four great guardians who are known as the four landvættir. The Old Norse kings' sagas, more specifically Heimskringla, tell the story of a seafarer who sailed to Iceland in ancient times. When he reached Vopnafjörður, he saw an enormous dragon who guarded the bay, and drove everybody away with fire. The dragon was followed by a great number of lizards and insects. This dragon was one of the four mythical landvættir, guardians of Iceland. The dragon has become the icon of Vopnafjörður, and is pictured on the Coat of arms of Iceland.
