After shaping, the surface is treated with linseed oil and wax. The finish does not seal the wood, it stays absorbed in the fibres, leaving the surface natural and slightly warm to the touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1044\" data-end=\"1404\"\u003eSif appears in Norse mythology as one of the Æsir and the wife of Thor. Her name is associated with fertility, the household, and the cultivated land. In surviving sources such as the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda, she is best known for her golden hair, which is often interpreted by scholars as a symbol linked to wheat, harvest, and the idea of field abundance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1406\" data-end=\"1684\"\u003eOne of the most referenced stories about Sif describes Loki cutting her hair, which later leads to the creation of new enchanted golden hair by the dwarves. This myth connects her to themes of renewal, craft, and the balance between chaos and restoration within Norse cosmology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1686\" data-end=\"1915\"\u003eThe statue keeps a restrained form, focused on silhouette. The wood grain remains visible and changes slightly in tone depending on light, from pale matte in daylight to warmer deeper tones in indoor light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1917\" data-end=\"2054\"\u003eEach piece is individually carved, so small variations in grain, carving marks, and surface texture are expected and part of the process.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LostRavn Fashion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66863090827568,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0919\/5513\/4768\/files\/2Goddess-sif-wife-of-thor-unique-wooden-carved-norse-pagan-altar-idol-asartu-gift-usa-canada_4.jpg?v=1779651096","url":"https:\/\/lostravn.com\/products\/hand-carved-sif-wooden-statue-linden-wood-18cm","provider":"LostRavn Fashion","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
