I am looking for the museum where this Wodan lives. If I recall correctly, it's somewhere in the former German Democratic Republic. I've tried several Google runs, but they usually bring me to sites of death metal bands.

THANKS! Halle, that's where I will have to go. Seems like a good choice for a weekend holiday.

Why Wodan and Sleipnir? Not enough legs surely?

All the links I found spoke of eight legged horse!

Quote:Why Wodan and Sleipnir? Not enough legs surely?Just intellectual laziness on my behalf. I recall that photo from more than thirty years ago and I recall that it was, back then, presented as a Wodan and Sleipnir. I may have "misremembered" it or the interpretation has changed. I was surprised when I discovered that it's now a Frankisch warrior. But it sounds more plausible. This is certainly a Sleipnir, though:
