Cernunnos Hair-Sword 

Inspired by the Celtic God Cernunnos. God of the wild, fertility, and the underworld. Also known as "The Horned One".

A walk through the art:

The image of Cernunnos has been found on objects throughout Europe, one of the most well known being the Gundestrup Cauldron, a silver vessel found in Denmark that dates from the first century BCE. The cauldron is carved features detailed carvings of  humans, animals, and gods. Including Cernunnos who is seated in a cross-legged position, surrounded by two torques, a stag, and a ram-horned serpent.

Stag antlers comprise the handles and are the most commonly known symbol of Cernunnos, who's name translates to "Antlered God".

The pommel is a combination of a torc and the ram-head serpent.

A torc is a rigid coil of metal bent into a ring, most often used as a necklace or neck-ring. The word comes from the Latin word torquis, meaning to twist. They were very popular amongst the Celtic and were viewed as symbols of status and power.

The ram-head serpent appears across Celtic, Native American, and Greek cultures, each in a slightly different form. In the Celtic culture the creature is often shown alongside Cernunnos and viewed as a symbol of fertility, new growth, and regeneration.

Down the blade is a hidden forest full of critters. They are elusive and don't like to be photographed but if you look closely you'll find a dozen different types hiding amongst the leaves.
