I would protest the association of Odin, in the bottom right, to Baphomet.

The pose is the same.

That's kind of like arguing that pylons are just like trees because they have the same shape.

By your argument anyone with the same pose could be associated with baphomet. Ancient Egyptian deities or old kings who were just posing with their scepter.

I don't buy your argument that Odin has anything to do baphomet

You are missing the point.

The artist intentionally drew it that way. Right hand up, left hound down, on the throne, with familiars. The familiars have significance.

Are you going to use the same argument for Buddha or Horus?

What year did each piece of art originate? Are there familiars in the art? What knowledge is being expressed by the pose of the figures?

Khnum is the ram-headed god that seems to be the common denominator... from the cult of the Elephantine triad out of Aswan, Egypt.

I hadn't heard of khnum before. No idea if it's associated to baphomet.

I'm guessing the right hand risen has some sort of resonant feeling for right-handed people, like the deity portrayed is ready to help or instilling a body language sign to be calm or that they're vigilant or motivated.
