The viking is wearing full battle armour and is about to wield his sword.  The Bronze is truly exceptional quality, please study the many photos to see the depth of the detailing and the crispness of the casting.  This is a genuine hot cast bronze finished on a solid marble base, do not confuse this with cheap 'cold cast' resin bronzes this is a true work of art.  Height 11", width 9.5" & depth 4".
