An Egyptian oroburos on a mallet with Nordic runes? Is that a little strange ... or is it just me?

In Norse mythology, the ouroboros appears as the serpent Jörmungandr, one of the three children of Loki and Angrboda, which grew so large that it could encircle the world and grasp its tail in its teeth.

Funny thing about mythology. wash, rinse... repeat.

P.S. It is just you :)

Cool, that will look excellent, have you a design for Jörmungandr in mind?

nothing to complicated. S curves for the body and a head. The hammered look suggests scales.

Thanks Mjolnir!  I knew there was a Norse equivalent Orobouros, but couldn't for the life of me remember - I even checked my Viking mythology books but couldn't find it at a quick look.  There's even a Native American version and if I remember right a Hindu version.  Commonalities in mythology throughout the world are a kind of startling at times!

PS  Please don't drop your Mjolnir on any airports when it's finished, thanks!

Thanks Harry. I'll post this weekend. I added a leather ring. I've drawn out my pattern on a copper sheet. I have my weekends back so I'm going to finish this beast.

Wow that is cool! I've been wanting to decorate my workhorse rawhide mallet and this is inspiring.
