In the old Norse paganism, they carved statues of the Norse gods. These were routinely destroyed after Scandinavia became Catholic, but smaller versions have survived. Writing also has mentioned pocket-sized statues.
I would like to see, at least for aesthetics, statues of the Norse gods that can be made of wood, possibly stone or clay. It'd also be nice to be able to make studyable figurines of the gods for LP, or even for show.
If you felt like it, adding temporary buffs would also be nice. But maybe the particulars of which Norse god would stand for what buff would be more work than you would want to do. Still, I think it would be cool to find a trinket of Thor on a guy who I was having a tough time beating - only to turn and keep it in my inventory myself for my strength.

Statues and idols of the Norse gods

More decorative stuff would generally be fun.
