Antropomorphic wood sculptures from Central and Northern Europe

Human wooden figures, sometimes also known as polgods, have been found at many archeological places in Central and Northern Europe. In general, they are considered as ritual pictures, in some cases probably as representations of divinities, sometimes with a Votiv or apotropic (protective) role. Tacitus probably did not recognize the more simple Germanic ritual pictures as equal to the more mature pictures of the Romans or was not aware of them.

Carving forks with more intricate figures recalls the "wooden men" or "tree men" of the Eddian poetry "Hávamál": Also other more or less modern lyrics bear witness to wooden figures in the Nordic world. In a disdainful way, the scriptures of Christians relate to wooden "idols", such as the character of the Freyr in Gunnars àáttr helmets.

In Ibn Fadlan's report on the Volga Vikings from the early tenth centuries, he wrote that as soon as they enter the port, they abandon their boats with meals and drinks and offer them on a large chunk of timber with the face of a man cut in it, flanked by smaller similar figures.

On the basis of the finds in Oberdorla, Günter Behm-Blancke has divided the figures into four groups: Most of the surviving figures are made of alder. Most of them were probably favoured because of their durability in the mostly moist places where they were stored. There are relatively few figures found in settlements in Celtic-speaking areas, and due to overlaps with Germanic-speaking settlements, especially in the North Sea region[28] it is sometimes hard to classify a character to one or the other group of persons.
