Life-like replicas of historical Icelandic figures have been created, based on descriptions found in the Viking sagas and chronicles. In using silicon instead of wax makes the figures more life-like and you can almost see them breath. In order to achieve authenticity, clothing, weapons and everyday objects were constructed using traditional methods passed down through the ages. The weapons were specially crafted and the wool and linen articles dyed by hand. All wooden artifacts have been treated in a way that both enhances their appearance and make them look genuinely old.
