Cthulhu Fhtagn! Dreggs Edition.

Scavenger Dreggs brings us another hand carved Cthulhu idol. This one was made from cherry, with a wonderful aged patina.

Scavenger Dreggs does some really nice work. This piece is excellent!

As always, thanks for sharing this with us.

The mood of this piece reminds me of some early Viking chess pieces. I’m glad to see some in natural materials that would be available centuries ago. I’ve always liked early chess pieces as miniature portable works of art. This miniature Cthulhu idol pretty much fills the bill as a craftsman item. I’d like to see more pieces like this in the future.

Here is an interesting article about celtic and Germantic board games, while not chess, is pretty interesting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tafl_games
