• Tie twine around to use as a rune pouch

All hides sold at Oreamnos Oddities are distressed. We do not cut any edges of hides to make them uniform. Some may have holes due to natural tanning process.

Dimensions: hide sizes vary due to natural material. Each of this style hide is 1/2 of a full deer hide. Please keep in mind there will be variances in shape of each hide. 

This ethically sourced deer hide has a hand painted bindrune dedicated to the norse god Odin. It consists of the runes Othala, Dagaz, Isa and Nauthiz and is surrounded by the 24 elder futhark runes.

**The Elder Futhark (also called Elder Fuþark, Older Futhark, Old Futhark or Germanic Futhark) is the oldest form of the runic alphabets. It was a writing system used by Germanic tribes for Northwest Germanic dialects in the Migration Period dialects. Its inscriptions are found on artifacts (including jewelry, amulets, tools, weapons, and runestones) from the 2nd to the 8th centuries.**
