A bearded face, with long flowing hair, is plainly visible on the wooden door of the men’s toilet in the Braehead outlet of the Swedish furniture and meatballs giant.I'm not sure about those other guys, but it looks a little like Albus Dumbledore to me.There is some debate over whether the face truly represents the Son of Man, or whether it is in fact Gandalf out of the Lord of the Rings, or even a member of ABBA.
One shopper said: "It takes you by surprise. It is really clear in the wood.
"I was only heading to the toilet and found God.
"My wife thought He looked like Gandalf from Lord of the Rings but it is definitely more like the Turin Shroud.
"It's certainly not what you expect to find in an Ikea store. Mind you, you need a little divine intervention to get out of here sometimes."
In a further twist, Ikea bosses claim that the image is really Benny Anderson, of the Eurovision Song Contest-winning Swedish 1970s Europop outfit ABBA.
A spokeswoman said: "Swedishness is engrained in every part of our stores."

I can see Gandalf or Dumbledore, but Benny of ABBA,

Let's get a link to this guy's blog. He seems pretty creative.
Looks to me like your average run-of-the-mill Viking. No big deal, lessen he has a sword or battle axe.
