Odin Wood Carving

Odin Wood Carving description: The god Odin is one of the most complex and fascinating gods in Norse mythology. He has many names, but what they mean exactly isn’t always clear because there’s so much literary and archaeological evidence describing him – which makes it difficult for us to know how he actually looked. What we do know is that Odin was said to be a god of war and a hero’s protector. The great god Odin is often associated with runes and poetic inspiration. He has one eye given to him in exchange for wisdom, but his other features are those of an ancient man, who carries spear into battle against the forces from darkness at night time. This wood carving of Odin is the perfect representation of the god and would make a great item for anyone who collects anything that has to do with mythology.
