Odin's Messengers - Odin bust 23cm
Odin is the supreme god of Germanic Norse mythology. Wotan sacrificed an eye to get a sip from Mimir's well of wisdom. Along with Heimdall, he is considered the creator of the classes (kings, peasants and servants). Odin is married to Frigg, who bore him the sons Thor, Balder and Tyr. He is worshipped above all as the god of war. Due to later events, he is also worshipped as the god of poetry, runes and the dead. Odin houses the fallen heroes (Einherjer) in Valhalla, who were led by the Valkyries from the battlefield to Valhalla to gather there for Ragnarok.A typical identifying feature of Odin is his magic rune spear, which symbolically opened the battle in Valhalla with the battle cry -Odin has us all-. Other features are the ravens Hugin and Munin, the wolves Geri and Freki and his eight-legged stallion Sleipnir. Odin is also the leader of the Wuothi army, with whom he roams the fields at night, ensuring the fertility of the fields. Made of cast stone and painted in detail with bronze paint by the artist's hand.
