Thor's Hammer with Donar's Head, bronze pendant.

Thor, the strongest of all the Old Norse gods, was greatly revered. Among the Germanic peoples, he was called Donar. God of storms and lightning, Thor slew trolls and man-eating giants, and ensured good harvests.
Thor, son of Odin and Jörð, had two sons, Magni and Móði, with his wife, the giantess Járnsaxa.
Thor rules in the hall Bilskirnir, his palace in the realm of Thrudheim, and he proudly carries his hammer Mjölnir. The "Thor's Hammer" was once forged by the dwarves Sindri and Brokk.
Thor draws his strength from his belt Megingjörð and his iron gauntlets Járngreipr.
As is still the case today, Thor's Hammer was worn for protection against danger by pagan people for many centuries. Thor's Hammer is THE symbol of the pagan faith.
