Source: Arrhenius & Freij 1992, p. 76: "Before leaving the plate I will also point on one famous detail on the picture, the missing right eye (of Oden) which is clearly marked. In a closer contour map (fig 6) we can observe that this eye is removed by a sharp cut".

  • Size and date check out; article is properly referenced and neutral, Earwig check indicates copyplag should not be a concern; image is at Commons, appears to have an appropriate licence, and is 1/4 of the image in the article to illustrate the hook fact specifically. I believe that this is good to go. - The Bushranger One ping only 01:14, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
