Thunor wearing his giant glove, Glofi,
and to his left two serpents of Middle Earth. Below them is his hammer, Mjolnir, identified as M-N-R, the
missing "L" possibly lost through atmospheric erosion. Lower
left, Thunor, unidentified by name
but recognized by his conical helmet, the hammer Mjolnir, and his magic
sword. The
upper composition lies 28 ft. SW
of the main sun-god figure at Peterborough, Ontario, while the lower one is
22 ft. SW of the sun-god figure. It
is notable that the peculiar form of the hammer, Mjolnir, precisely matches
its characteristic appearance in Scandinavian sculpture of the god Thor (Fell
1982). |
