My 12/27/25 postcard comes from a shop in the Coronado Mall. It’s a Viking figure that stands assembled from gears, chains, and worn metal, its horned helmet and armored chest blending ancient myth with industrial design. A symbol of strength, the warrior is reimagined here as a machine, part legend, part scrapyard, quietly watching from a mall store, out of time but still imposing.
