Object Description Assignment

            I came from the earth, and with much toil and skill, I was forged by one Canadian blacksmith. I was modeled after the weapon which was forged by the dwarves Brokkr and Eitri. At the top of me rests the likeness of a goat skull, peering grimly at those who meet its gaze. Its horns curl downward. At my base, below my handle, are five detailed runes. These runes represent the primal might of thunder and lightning. I am not much larger than a coin, my weight is light, and I hang from a silver chain. I am grey as the sky as a strong storm approaches. Very appropriate, if I do say so myself.

            I would have felt very much at home resting upon the breast of a warrior one thousand years ago, through all of his battles until the day he rested upon his funeral pyre at sea.

            After Tuesday, I will post an image of the object being described.
