The Norse goddess Skadi is associated with bowhunting, skiing, mountains, wolves, winter and all things wild. In this statue she is depicted wearing skis, a wolf skin coat, a quiver of arrows and holding a bow in her right hand. In her left hand she holds a serpent in reference to the snake she hung over the condemned Loki in the story of the death of Baldur. Runes along the base of the statue spell her name.
