"Archaeologists and scholars have spent decades piecing together the lives and religion of Germanic pagan people using the artifacts that have been recovered from the ground (either in burials or midden pits), coupled with the information that has been recorded about Germanic pagans since the Roman occupation in the 1st century. Probably the most well-known of the Norse gods, Odin is mentioned countless times in dozens of sources that date back 2,000 years, and he has been ascribed hundreds of nicknames. These kennings (figures of speech used in place of a single-word noun) describe him as fierce, wise, father, husband, son, brother, blind, grey-haired, deceiving, spear-wielding, hooded, hanged, an oracle, walk-weary, and more.
As The Wanderer, he is depicted as a cloaked one-eyed old man, with a long grey beard, carrying his spear Gungnir, and accompanied by his two companion ravens, Hugin and Munin. A wizened old man who can see between the worlds and through time after having sacrificed one of his eyes to Mimir’s well to gain the wisdom of the runes. This bold model, created on the popular Mustang Stallion mold, #801 sculpted by Rayvin Maddock, is decorated in a moody dapple purple/blue complete with a spear face marking, a magical right eye, and raven feathers in his mane and tail." www.breyerhorses.com.
