Amazing stuff. Not everyday you find a god-image! I see there will be plenty of room for interpretation of this figure given the unusual attire of what appears to be a robe and a necklace/gorget. The ravens are obvious and the eye situation is rather indicative of an Óðinn-like figure. I can foresee how this debate will rage for years to come.

I've now translated the Danish and provided my counter-argument to a Swedish archeologist who says it's Freyja: on the Heathen Thing forums: http://www.heathenthing.org/board2/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=385&p=1479#p1479
