10" sculpture of Hel, the goddess of death and the underworld in Norse Mythology. Statue is cast in resin and hand painted This hauntingly beautiful resin bust captures the essence of Hel, the Norse goddess of death and ruler of the underworld. Her visage is a striking contrast between life and decay, with one half of her face depicting the eerie beauty of a goddess, while the other half reveals the decay of death. A crown of bones rests atop her head, symbolizing her dominion over the dead. In her arms, she tenderly cradles the skeletons of the departed, a poignant reminder of her role as both guardian and gatekeeper of the afterlife. This detailed sculpture is a must-have for those who appreciate Norse mythology, dark art, and the profound symbolism of life and death.
