gamepieces of the Gods.
Eastern-European woodcarving style meets Lewis Chessmen-esque in this set of Norse Gods made by Triumpho. At 13 cm each, one could imagine that these are the golden gamepieces found in the grass after Ragnarök.

Guillermo Maytorena IV knew there was something special in the Norse Lore when he picked up a copy of the d'Aulaires' Norse Gods and Giants at age seven. Since then he's been fascinated by the truthful potency of Norse Mythology, passionately read & studied, embraced Ásatrú, launched the Map of Midgard project, and spearheaded the neologism/brand NorsePlay. If you have employment/opportunities in investigative mythology, field research, or product development to offer, do contact him.
Neil Gaiman: The way you stated it at the end of your version makes one imagine something very much like these.
