EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the Germanic god Wotan, who is equivalent to the Scandinavian deity Odin. Depicted as a powerful warrior, Wotan is seen here armed with a sword and a helmet adorned with the heads of two birds. This intricate relief, carved into a funerary stele during the late 7th century, is an exemplary piece of Merovingian art. Discovered in the region of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, specifically in Bonn at the Rheinisches Landesmuseum, this vertical, upright, and colorful artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Europe's medieval past. The Merovingian period, which spanned the Middle Ages, was marked by the emergence of distinct artistic styles. This funerary stele, procured from the archaeological site of Niederdollendorf, is a prime example of the intricate and symbolic art that flourished during this time. Wotan, the god of the dead, wisdom, and poetry, was a central figure in the Germanic and Norse pantheons. His association with birds, particularly ravens, is a common motif in mythology, symbolizing wisdom and knowledge. This artwork, with its intricate details and historical significance, offers a glimpse into the beliefs and artistic sensibilities of the ancient Germanic and European civilizations. The image of Wotan, as a warrior clad in armor and adorned with the heads of birds, continues to captivate and inspire, serving as a powerful reminder of the enduring influence of European history and mythology.
