​ÆTI​
(A LIFETIME)

Originally carved into the jawbone of a porpoise and dated to around 1000 A.D.⠀This calendar/pendant, commonly known as Worm’s Norwegian runic calendar, displays only the winter season. The other half, the summer season, was carved on the opposite side of the jawbone.⠀

Unfortunately, the summer season was never copied and the piece has since been lost.⠀

 

This paddle is my attempt to keep this last half from also fading into the annals of history.
