Philip Obermarck brings us
the mummified heart of a Norse giant.
While going through his famous grandfather’s belongings after his passing in 1937, violinist Lars Sigerson discovered this casket with its gruesome contents. It appears to have been passed from generation to generation within his family for hundreds of years. The explanation and whatever story that goes with it has been lost to the ages.
The inscription on the casket is written in old Norse runes and reads:
“Behold! Within this casket lies the heart of the fierce and terrible giant known as Hrungnir, slain this day by Fafrd the Red whose bravery and cunning shall live forever!”
Thanks for featuring my work! I read you daily and was thrilled to see my own piece highlighted.

ReplyDeleteIt's my pleasure. It's a great piece, and the rest of the collection is equally cool.
