Bronze Maison Norse Odin Spear Wotan Myth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative bronze sculpture, titled "Wotan/Odin," depicts the Germanic god Wotan or Odin, the chief deity of the Old Norse religion. Widely revered among the Germanic peoples of Europe, Wotan was the god of the sky, thunder, wisdom, and the dead. He was often depicted as a one-eyed, bearded man wearing a cloak, carrying a spear, and riding an eight-legged horse. The sculpture captures the enigmatic and powerful presence of Wotan, with his piercing gaze and the intricate details of his clothing and accessories. The spear in his hand, a symbol of his power and authority, is raised as if ready for battle or to defend his realm. The intricate textures and patina of the bronze add to the sculpture's ancient and mystical feel, transporting us back to the rich history and mythology of the Norse world. The origins of this sculpture are uncertain, but it is believed to date back to the late 19th or early 20th century. Its creator is unknown, but the high-quality craftsmanship and attention to detail suggest that it was the work of a skilled artist. The sculpture's intriguing design and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection of mythological or historical art. Wotan/Odin was a complex and multifaceted deity, known for his wisdom, poetry, and magic, as well as his role as the god of war and the hunter. He was also the god of the dead, presiding over the underworld and guiding the souls of the deceased to the afterlife. This sculpture serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring influence of Norse mythology and the rich cultural heritage it represents.
