Gerd

Gerd is the wife of Freyr and a goddess of fertility. She is the personification of the fertile soil. She is described as 'the most beautiful of all women'
She was so beautiful that the brightness of her naked arms illuminated both air and sea. Gerd never wanted to marry Freyr and refused his proposals. Freyr sent his messenger Skirnir to woo her, but he did not succeed in winning her over with the eleven golden apples and the ring Draupnir he had with him. Eventually Skirnir threatened to use Freyr's sword, which would cover the earth in ice, and powerful magic which would doom Gerd's life to misery and sadness. She finally agreed to meet Freyr in a wood, nine days hence, and later became his wife.

Gerd has been sculpted to appear weathered, and true to his original appearance, before being cast in a high quality plaster. Hand painted, each statue is special and unique, and may differ slightly from the picture.
