This horned Odin pendant and wolf warrior pendant were found together in a burial in Ekhammar, Sweden.
While these may depict warriors as described in Plutarch’s account of the Cimbri, wearing elaborate helmets and carrying two spears and a sword, more detailed examples show the “horns” ending in raven heads. Simple eyes and beaks are visible on this example. A similar horned figure appears on the Torslunda Plates, similarly followed by a wolf man, clearly missing an eye; which appears to depict Odin himself.
Whether these pendants depict Odin himself, or warriors who fought in his image, these pendants would certainly show the wearer was a devotee of Odin, and their placement in a burial would be a case for being allowed into Valhalla.
