On Odin's shoulder are two ravens, Hugin and Munin. To his right and left are the two wolves, Geri and Freki.
According to Norse mythology, Odin was one of the chief gods and the ruler of Asgard (the country or capital of the Norse gods). Here Odin sits upon his throne. On his shoulder are the two ravens, Hugin (also Huginn - and meaning "thought") and Munin (also Muninn and meaning "memory"), associated with him. To his right and left at bottom are the two wolves, Geri and Freki (both meaning "greedy" or ravenous one"), that were also said to accompany him. This sculpture of Odin was done by the Swedish sculptor Wilhelm Engelhard (1813Ð1902).
