Wall relief "Odin's Head" - bronzed and partially colored.

He is the high god of the Aesir, the highest and first deity, the god of poetry, knowledge, magic, the sky, war, and the dead. As a storm god, he is the leader of Wotan's armies. Odin is the finder of the runes, the god of runic wisdom, and the patron god of the skalds.
Odin, the Allfather, son of Burr and the giantess Bestla: Together with his brothers Hönir and Lodur, Odin created the first human pair, Askr and Embla, and gave them a soul.

He sits on his throne Hlidskjalf in the hall Valaskjalf in the gods' fortress Asgard and can observe the whole world from there. He is all-seeing and knows what is said and done. At Odin's side are the ravens, Huginn (thought) and Muninn (memory), who return from their travels every morning to report the news of the world to Odin. He is also accompanied by the two wolves Geri (greedy) and Freki (ravenous). With his eight-legged stallion Sleipnir, he rides against the forces of darkness!
Odin pledges his eye to his uncle Mimir to be allowed to drink the mead Odrörir from the well of truth. He owes his wealth to his golden ring Draupnir, from which eight more rings drip every nine days. In battle, he relies on the spear Gungnir, which never misses its target.
Odin's mythical wife is Frigg, whose Old German name Frija is identical to the Norse name of the Vanir goddess Freyja. In the Edda, too, Frigg is identified with Freyja. His wife bore him the sons Thor, Baldur, and Tyr.
Thus, Odin is not only the god of the fallen in Valhalla, but generally the guide of the dead, as expressed by the older myth of the Wild Hunt, in which all the spirits of the dead ride through the night under Odin's leadership.
His retinue consists of 13 spirit warriors, the Valkyries (Valkyrjar), and the souls of the fallen warriors / the Einherjar, who dwell in Valhalla (Hall of the Fallen).
This magnificent hall stood in Gladsheim, in front of it the grove Glasir, whose trees bore golden leaves. Above the main door of the hall, which was so high that one could hardly see its gable, hung a wolf as a symbol of war, and above it an eagle. The hall itself (roofed with shields over spear shafts) had 540 doors through which those 800 Einherjar march when the great battle with the Fenris wolf begins (The warriors gather for Ragnarök). It was destined for those brave ones who came to Odin on the battlefield after death. Under Odin's chairmanship, the Valkyries serve plenty of mead.
