Thor Playing Cards – silver gilt-edged by Nicolai Aaroe

Description

Welcome to Asgard, home of the Aesir and an incredible deck of cards, edge-gilded with gold and silver to honor the Norse gods who live here! Amidst this new cosmos, the gods established Asgard, a grand, fortified realm high above Midgard, the world of men. They built Bifröst, the shimmering rainbow bridge, as a passage between realms. Asgard was home to great halls, including Odin’s golden Valhalla, where the bravest fallen warriors, including Thor, prepared for Ragnarök. While waiting, the gods and goddesses of Asgard feasted, lived and created the most amazing legends of the mythology.

The Thor edition tuck is a powerful merge of embossed silver simulation to honor the protector of Asgard with an elegant and strategically embossed portrait in the center. The tuck features no foil, but a glossy and embossed surface which will ensure that the mighty box will capture the attention of its audience and have incredible details in the artwork. The front features authentic futhark runes from the viking age which say ASGARD on top and THOR on the bottom.
The tuck back features Mjolnir, the mighty hammer of Thor, in the center of a glorious, shining and strategically embossed icon, which take direct inspiration from real Norse treasure and jewelry found by Danish archeologists.
As a centerpiece of the Thor edition, Mjolnir is featured in the deck along with a backstory of the mythological weapon as seen here.
The pips are 100% custom and unique for Asgard Playing Cards and based on authentic knotwork designs from the era.
