"Sigyn holder skålen mellem slangen og Loke" (Sigyn holds the bowl between the snake and Loki) is an 1826 - 1893 etching by Danish artist H.C. Henneberg. The image depicts the Norse myth of Loki's punishment, where he is bound to a rock with a serpent dripping venom on his face. Sigyn, Loki's wife, stands by holding a bowl to catch the venom. The artwork's small size, 104 mm by 92 mm, suggests it was created for personal or private use. This etching is a captivating example of Henneberg’s ability to create a detailed and poignant visual interpretation of a classic Norse myth. It can be found at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
