Peoples who claimed a wolf as an ancestorAncestral is the right word here, and not only as a style note. Several cultures traced their actual descent to a wolf rather than merely admiring one.Rome had the Lupa, the she-wolf who suckled Romulus and Remus,...

Some Viking symbols are not VikingThis surprises people and it is worth knowing if you are going to wear one and be asked about it.Several of the designs sold everywhere as Viking symbols first appear in Icelandic magical manuscripts written in the seventeenth century...

Pastel rainbow faux fur runs the whole way round this hood, shading from pink into lilac, mint and pale yellow, with two upright ears standing at the crown. Two long panels hang from it in a glossy iridescent fabric that catches the light, trimmed...

It genuinely worksThe wolf's open jaws are the bottle opener, the gap between the upper and lower teeth taking the cap, and it is not a novelty detail. Stainless steel is hard enough to lever a crown cap without deforming, which is exactly why...

Four wolf heads travel round this band, and each one is caught in the weave of the leather rather than hung from it. The cords pass behind the ears and out beneath the muzzles, so the plait appears to run straight through the animals...

The traditional shapeA signet is the oldest form of ring there is: a flat face carrying a mark, originally used to press a seal into wax. This one keeps the width and the weight of that tradition but works the mark into the band...

Knotwork rather than a portraitCeltic design works by interlacing rather than by depiction, and this ring follows that. Two clawed paws curl round the finger with their ends overlapping rather than meeting, and knotwork fills the back of each paw while the claws are...

There is no beta wolfAlpha at least describes something real, badly. Beta describes nothing at all.The whole ranking came from one study of unrelated wolves penned together in captivity in the 1940s. Strangers with nowhere to go produced exactly the ranked aggression you would...

The head is an old wolf and cut to look it. Deep lines run back from the muzzle and ring both eyes, the ears stand up pointed on either side of the face, and the recesses are darkened so the wrinkles stand out against...

Snow falls right across this canopy, soft pale specks drifting in front of a wolf's face cropped so close that it fills all eight panels. The muzzle runs down towards the rim, the fur is grey going to white along the bridge of the...

Two pale wolves stand close on cracked, frost coloured rock, one a step ahead of the other, and behind them the moon is printed large enough to fill half the canopy, craters and grey seas included. The sky runs sea green above and thins...

A muzzle lifted to the sky, the throat pulled long, the chest turned upward: the wolf on the left of this canopy is caught mid howl, while a second stands to the right with its head level and its ears forward. Golden dust hangs...

The long walk out Wolves that leave their birth pack are known as dispersers, and they cover remarkable ground doing it. Animals of one to three years old have been tracked across hundreds of kilometres, alone, looking for unclaimed country and a mate. That...

Two pale wolves stand close together in a forest drained of every colour but blue, and the one behind has laid its head across the other's shoulders. Dark maple leaves fall past the edge of the canopy, caught mid drift. Why the head rests...

Roses grow around this wolf's head like a hedge that decided to close in. The painting is loose and wet looking, red and green laid over lilac and cobalt, with the brushwork left showing everywhere except the eyes. The amber is accurate Wolf cubs...
