"Odin's Head" wall relief / mural, bronzed and colored

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

He is the chief god of the Æsir, the highest and first deity, god of poetry, knowledge, magic, sky, war, and the dead. As a storm god, he is the leader of the Wotan armies. Odin, the finder of the runes, god of runic wisdom and patron god of skalds.
Odin, the Allfather, son of Borr and the giantess Bestla: Together with his brothers Vili and Vé, Odin created the first human couple, Ask and Embla, and gave them a soul.

He sits on his throne Hlidskialf in the hall Valaskjalf in the divine fortress Asgard and can observe the entire world from there. He is all-seeing and knows what is said and what is done. By Odin's side stand the ravens, Hugin (Thought) and Munin (Memory), who return every morning from their journey 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 steed Sleipnir, he rides against the forces of darkness!
Odin pledges his eye to his uncle Mimir in order to be allowed to drink the Mead of Poetry, Odrörir, from the Well of Wisdom." 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 Frijamit is identical to the Norse Vanir goddess Freya. Frigg is also identified with Freya in the Edda. His wife bore him the sons Thor, Baldr, and Týr.
Thus, Odin is not only the god of the fallen in Valhalla but generally the guide of the dead, as the older myth of the Wild Hunt expresses, in which all spirits of the dead ride through the night under Odin's leadership.
His retinue consists of 13 female warrior spirits, the Valkyries (Valkyrjar), and the souls of the fallen warriors / the Einherjar, who reside in Valhalla (Hall of the Fallen).

This shining hall stood in Gladsheim, and in front of it was the grove Glasir, whose trees bore golden leaves. Above the main door of the hall, which was so high that one could barely see its gable, hung a wolf as a symbol of war, and above it an eagle. The hall itself (covered with shields over spear shafts) had 540 doors through which 800 Einherjar pass when it comes to the great battle with the Fenris wolf (The warriors gather for Ragnarök). It was intended for these brave ones who came to Odin after death on the battlefield. Under Odin's presidency, the Valkyries generously pour the mead.
