Tors Fiskafänge is created by Aron Simon Sandberg, (born 5 januari 1873, dead 28 november 1959) and its made of bronze.
This sculpture symbolizes the capture of the god Loke "salmon" by the god Tor.
After Loke's blasphemy against the gods at Ægir's feast, angered Ægir, he turned into a salmon to escape and jumped to Framångerfors. Tor to make him pay for what he had done, Tor captured him in his salmon form. The god Kvaser and ordinary people were on the site of the capture.
Loke, Tor and Kvaser are gods in Norse mythology (Scandinavian country) and not a Marvel movie.
Tor is the god of thunder and rides in the sky in his cart pulled by the goats Tanngnjost och Tanngrisner and then he hammers on the edge of the cart the lightning flashes across the sky.
Loke is actually of giant blood, but has entered into a blood brotherhood with the god Odin. Witty and cunning, always looking to disrupt the order of the gods. Loke can transform himself into an animal and is the one who, in the guise of a mare, gives birth to Odin's horse Sleipner.
Kvaser is the wisest of the gods and the originator of mead ("kvas" = strong beer).
