Fylgja #3 | Fine Art Painting

Design

This hand painted image of a Fylgja is a part of a small series by Sean Parry of Sacred Knot Tattoo. In old Norse, a Fylgja is an ancestral family spirit of a sort, passed down as a guardian protector through the family line. It is not known how widespread this idea was in the ancient world, but considering a lot of people still believed in guardian angels, it must have some very, very old roots.

  

Material & Make

The artwork you will receive is the original piece. It was hand painted on a cotton canvas stretched over a wooden frame backing. Please know that our images intend to capture the colour to the best of our ability, but can’t always display the exact nuances of texture and tint within the artwork. If you have concerns about this, please try viewing on different monitors to make sure your computer or phone is giving you the best representation.
