The design of this magnet is authentic in regards to appearance, accoutrements and coloring. He is holding a sword in one hand and a cross in his other. 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.
