This one of a kind wind chime features two real cow vertebrae marked with Icelandic magical staves connected to protection against theft and the discovery of stolen property. The upper vertebra bears the Þjófastafur, a historical thief stave used to reveal or counteract thieves. Suspended beneath it is a second vertebra painted with both Blóðuxi and Molduxi, a pair of Icelandic magical staves traditionally used together to protect valuables from theft.
According to Icelandic tradition, Blóðuxi and Molduxi were carved inside the lids of wooden chests or boxes to create a protective ward over money and treasured possessions. Þjófastafur was historically used in rituals intended to identify a thief or expose stolen property. Combined, these symbols make this piece a unique addition to a ritual space focused on protection, safeguarding possessions, and warding against theft.
