The Kattegat Ghost Figurine - Greaves

Greaves is a handmade collectable Ghost figurine, individually poured and engraved by The Nordic Ghost Merchants in Denmark.

The Kattegat is not a kind sea. It is the strait between Denmark and Sweden where the North Sea meets the Baltic. It's a place of cold currents and old memories. Fishermen who worked these waters did not speak of what they saw beneath the surface. They did not need to. The sea remembers on their behalf.  

The Kattegat Ghosts carry that water in them. Each one formed in the colours of an untamed Scandinavian sea; pale fog, dark storms and the blue grey of a sky that hasn't seen the sun in weeks. They arrived without warning. They may not stay.

Greaves is said to appear along shallow stretches of coast after rough weather, where the sea has dragged sand, weed and stone into unfamiliar shapes.

Older sailors claimed that he could often be found facing the water long after a storm had passed, as though taking stock of what the tide had changed.

He was never known to warn of danger or promise safe passage.

Greaves simply watched the shoreline until it settled again.

Greaves the ghost figurine stands at just short of 8 cm.
