Sign (pronounced Sig)
The band I saw perform live on top of a tattoo parlor on Culture Night Aug. 23.
It was quite a scary crowd, but actually a really good band.

Þór or Christ?
This human figure made of bronze has been dated, on the grounds of style, to around 1000 AD. It is believed to depict Þór (Thor), one of the major Norse gods, but it could also represent Christ enthroned in glory. The figure grasps an object thought to be Þór’s hammer, but also similar in shape to the Christian cross.
