In Norse mythology, Heimdall is the guardian of the Bifrost Bridge (i.e. the rainbow), and thereby the link between Midgard and Asgard. Legends foretell that he will sound the Gjallarhorn, alerting the gods to the onset of Ragnark where the world ends and is reborn. Heimdall was destined to be the last of the gods to perish at Ragnarok when he and Loki would slay one another. This bronze look statue of Heimdall blowing the Gjallarhorn has hand-painted accents, and shows exquisite detail. Made of cold cast resin, it has the look and feel of bronze. It makes a great gift for anyone with an interest in Norse Mythology.
