The Eyrarland Statue is a bronze statue of a sitting figure measuring 6.7 cm and dating from around the year 1000 AD. It was discovered on the Eyrarland farm in Akureyri, Iceland, and is currently exhibited at the National Museum of Iceland. The statue's identity has been a subject of debate; it is thought to either represent the Scandinavian god Thor or possibly be a gaming piece.
The statue was found in 1815 or 1816, on one of the two farms named Eyrarland near Akureyri.
If the object is indeed a depiction of Thor, it portrays him holding his famous hammer, Mjölnir, which is molded in a typical Icelandic cross shape. Some have suggested that the statue may be connected to a scene from the poem "Þrymskviða" in the Poetic Edda, in which Thor reclaims his hammer while seated, gripping it with both hands during a wedding ceremony.
An alternative theory comes from the archaeologist Christian Eldjarne, who proposed that the statue could be the central piece of a Hnefatafl (a Viking board game) set. This suggestion is based on its resemblance to a smaller whale mustache figure found in Baldur heimura, along with black and white gaming pieces and a die.
