The design of this magnet is authentic in regards to appearance, accoutrements and coloring. He is wearing a cross on a chain around his neck, leaning on an axe and holding a shield. This statuette is accompanied by a brief history about the Viking Age. This is a wonderfully detailed, hand painted magnet that measures approximately 3.25 inches tall and 1.25 inches wide at its widest point. While it is intended as a fridge magnet, it can also be free standing.
