Odin from Lindby
Figure depicting the Viking god Odin (also known as Odin from Lindby). It is a stray find from a gravel pit in Lindby, Svenstorp parish, Skåne. The figure is approximately 10 cm tall. Storage bag included.
The figure features upturned mustaches, a pointed beard, and a conical headpiece, possibly a helmet. He wears a knee-length coat with a belt. His right arm is bent toward the waist, while the left arm is missing. Odin is a prominent god in Germanic mythology, from Roman times to the Viking Age. He was the god of wisdom and is said to have sacrificed one of his eyes in exchange for knowledge. His deeper insight, including the knowledge of runes, was gained by transcending the boundary of death.

Scanglas sells handcrafted products made from various materials such as glass, metal, horn, bone, and wood. Each product is unique, with natural variations in color, finish, size, and shape that reflect the charm of genuine craftsmanship.
Our historical glassware consists of meticulously crafted replicas that capture the 2000-year history of glassblowing. Each piece is mouth-blown and handmade, featuring details such as decorations and glass threads, giving them an authentic character. A hallmark of handmade glass is the punt mark on the underside, the softly rounded edge on the rim, and subtle variations in size, thickness, and details. The specially formulated glass material mimics historical color tones and includes small air bubbles and structural variations, which together contribute to the glassware's unique and genuine character.
In addition to glass, we also offer products made of metal, horn, bone, and wood. These items are carefully crafted using traditional techniques to preserve their natural properties and highlight the authenticity of the craftsmanship.
