Can you give the source where this depiction is found?  I would like to view
it.  For  what it's worth, one-eyed characters with raven connections is well
known in Celtic mythology and comparisons between Wodan and Lug/Cuchulain
have been made many times.  Inasmuch as all these characters draw to some
degree on a shared I-E source, borrowing need not figure heavily in their
distribution.
