Troll Lamp

2003

This object is presumably attributed to the wester mountain trolls. It most likely functioned as a illumination for a fordable place ín the curved river.

Troll Lamp (detail)

2003

Characteristic for the western mountain trolls is the use of black patinated steel with gemstones inlaid. Another typical attribute is the use of local elements, like dead trees and rocks.

This object was discovered by Sir Arthur Teacup in the Black Mountains. Later on he orderd it to be cut out and took it with him to his cottage in the home country, just to take the piss out of his neighbours. This was a rather unfortnunate idea though, because his garden was swept with lost trolls.

Goose Detail

2003

The goose symbolyses the urge to migrate to the south to the western mountain trolls. Unfortunately they are not able to do so. This makes them realy grumpy for the whole winter.

Detail Cap

Of the crane, also a bird of migration, the same symbol is suspected as the goose.

Bear

2003

The bear, a very fierce predator, was probably apeased by the trolls by depicting him in the hope to achieve a alliance.
