Norse gods, mermaids and wizards as collector's figurines
Monte M. Moore's visual world fuses Norse mythology and classical fantasy motifs with an elegant, often monumental sense of scale. Odin, Thor, Loki and a Valkyrie feature as bronzed busts with the museum-style cold-cast finish that suits these heroic subjects so well. Mermaids and sirens appear in both hand-painted and bronzed variants, while Merlin and Morgana arrive as bronzed-and-coloured figurines from the Veronese series "The Triumphs of Humanity" – a coherent line of pieces that work as a coordinated grouping. A skull crowned with ram horns and a Viking bookend set round out the selection, giving the range a few unexpected accents alongside the more classical fantasy archetypes.
Where Monte M. Moore figurines come into their own
The bronzed god busts read most powerfully when displayed at eye level – on a console table, sideboard or library shelf, where the dramatic posing and weighty cold-cast finish anchor a wider arrangement. Mermaids and sirens hold their own as the focal point of a glass cabinet or mantelpiece, particularly when paired with seascape accents or other water-themed decor. Merlin and Morgana from "The Triumphs of Humanity" lend themselves naturally to grouping as a coordinated pair, and the bronzed-and-coloured finish gives them a distinct presence next to pure cold-cast bronzes. The horned skull and the Viking bookend set bring functional everyday detail into a study, library or themed reading nook. Further fantasy figurines drawing on related themes are available under Mermaid Figurines and Norse God Figurines.
