Yggdrasil Plate

These 13 inch plates are made of acacia wood and adorned with the tree of life or as we Vikings say, Yggdrasil.  

Yggdrasil is an eternal green ash tree in Norse mythology. It stands in the middle of the world, with branches that stretch out over all of the realms. It is known simply as the world tree.

The name Yggdrasil should be understood in the context of Odin?s connection with the world tree. Odin who is always in pursuit of more knowledge, once sacrificed himself on the tree to gain more knowledge.

This World Tree or Tree of Life has roots in many different cultures over the span of human history. See what we did there?

One plate is engraved with the symbol while the other plate features a layered 3D style design. Neither is intended to be eaten off of. What kind of primitive barbarian are you anyway?

Dimensions are approximate. We can measure but it takes time away from raiding and pillaging. Also stain colors and finish can vary. It you want a specific stain we don’t really offer that—but you can specify

• reddish (varies between Cabernet red to bruise purple)

• medium brown (more of a chocolatey brown)

• light brown (somewhat of a tan)

• maple (more of an orangey than reddish brown)

• gray (like old barn gray)

• natural (very light or no stain)

Specific colors are only available if you contact us using the Order special instructions box at checkout! We also have darker stains but they don’t give enough contrast to discern the artwork. There are a few oddbird colors such as pink, coral, or light blue but they are, well, odd. Don’t get me wrong. We like odd but how they react to wood grain is the odd part. 😢
