Indeed, the statue is just a placeholder. Someone may be modeling a better, more period appropriate statue for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Aurelian Posted Wednesday at 20:14 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 20:14 Perhaps something like this (1st Century BC statue from Possendorf.) It was apparently around 90 centimeters tall. Those were larger, but more crude in style: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braak_Bog_Figures 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted Wednesday at 21:11 Author Report Share Posted Wednesday at 21:11 Spoiler I'm thinking 2 or so "poles" for the base, then 3 or so heads, and then 2 or 3 props (cattle skull, antlers), and you get a lot of nice variation with only a few models.

Ultimate Aurelian Posted Wednesday at 22:38 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 22:38 (edited) https://tidsskrift.dk/kuml/article/view/24902 Quote The figure (fig. 1) was found in a little peat-bog of less than an acre in extent, at Rebild Skovhuse, a cleared valley running into the immense Rold Forest in north Jutland. It was of birch and so rotten that it was only the care with which the farmer had taken it up and the equally careful conservation, which lasted three years, that preserved it for our study. It is 1.05 meters tall, formed of the bole of a young tree and only sketchily shaped on the basis of the original tree-form. The figure is clearly that of a woman, the sexual characteristics being particularly emphasized. The arms are not represented, while the legs, probably formed by a fork, had been broken off before the figure was placed in the bog. Besides the figure was a large piece of woven material. It was worn and patched, and of four-shaft weave most resembling the Iron Age cloth from Borremose. It had perhaps been originally wrapped around the figure. Pollen analysis suggests, with reservations, a dating to the Roman Iron Age. It has been speculated that the statue was covered in clothing Tacitus' Germania has an interesting passage regarding the cult of Nerthus, which may hint at that as well (Or just a cloth covering the chariot?) Quote None of these tribes have any noteworthy feature, except their common worship of Ertha, or mother-Earth, and their belief that she interposes in human affairs, and visits the nations in her car. In an island of the ocean there is a sacred grove, and within it a consecrated chariot, covered over with a garment. Only one priest is permitted to touch it. He can perceive the presence of the goddess in this sacred recess, and walks by her side with the utmost reverence as she is drawn along by heifers. It is a season of rejoicing, and festivity reigns wherever she deigns to go and be received. They do not go to battle or wear arms; every weapon is under lock; peace and quiet are known and welcomed only at these times, till the goddess, weary of human intercourse, is at length restored by the same priest to her temple. Afterwards the car, the vestments, and, if you like to believe it, the divinity herself, are purified in a secret lake. Slaves perform the rite, who are instantly swallowed up by its waters. Hence arises a mysterious terror and a pious ignorance concerning the nature of that which is seen only by men doomed to die. This branch indeed of the Suevi stretches into the remoter regions of Germany Quote Nec quicquam notabile in singulis, nisi quod in commune Nerthum, id est Terram matrem, colunt eamque intervenire rebus hominum, invehi populis arbitrantur. Est in insula Oceani castum nemus, dicatumque in eo vehiculum, veste contectum; attingere uni sacerdoti concessum. Is adesse penetrali deam intellegit vectamque bubus feminis multa cum veneratione prosequitur. Laeti tunc dies, festa loca, quaecumque adventu hospitioque dignatur. Non bella ineunt, non arma sumunt; clausum omne ferrum; pax et quies tunc tantum nota, tunc tantum amata, donec idem sacerdos satiatam conversatione mortalium deam templo reddat. Mox vehiculum et vestes et, si credere velis, numen ipsum secreto lacu abluitur. Servi ministrant, quos statim idem lacus haurit. Arcanus hinc terror sanctaque ignorantia, quid sit illud, quod tantum perituri vident. Regarding antlers or animal heads on statues, i could not find anything about it. Antler seem more associated with celtic deities. In later germanic mythologies most of the gods are human in appearance (Although there are couple depictions of figures with horned headgear).
