A small idol of Germanic chief god Woedan (Woden/Wodan/Oðinn, etc.) in front of a burial mound.
Woedan was without a doubt the most worshipped deity in the Low Countries. This in opposition to the Nordic countries, where Þorr was the most popular.
Burial mounds were not just a place to bury the dead, they were also regarded as sacred sites. They played a role in ancestor worship and were the site of rituals.
