A commssion by hellagator, this is a depiction of Archangel Michael are a "biblically accurate angel". Depending on your theological treatise, Michael shows up high in the divine hierarchy, and although he's usually depicted as humanoid higher ranking angels have more monstruous attributes.
And besides, what better way to intimidate demons with a sword sticking out of your ribs?

Looks good but I imagine he probably takes the form of a very large Cherubim.

>In the excavations of several ancient Palestinian synagogues, scholars were surprised to discover the appearance of a Greek god, Helios, surrounded by a zodiac wheel among the decorations in the floor mosaics. This particular motif of Helios and the Zodiac cycle became a popular form of decoration in the synagogues of ancient Palestine between the 4th and 7th centuries C.E. As part of a three-panel design, the zodiac are typically represented in the central panel. In each of these Jewish mosaics, there is a circular design at the center with Helios, the sun god, riding in his chariot with four horses. There are stars and a moon in the background of his figure. The outer circle holds the twelve zodiac signs, typically with each sign’s name inscribed in Hebrew. In the four corners of the outer square are personifications of the seasons, represented by the busts of women, each accompanied by attributes of that season.

>In Northern mythology, it is said that a wild boar was sacrificed to Freya, the goddess of earth and fertility. The sacrifice took place in midwinter so it is likely that the boar represented the sun and the sacrifice, the rebirth of the sun. Being a symbol of truth, it had a role in the swearing of sacred oaths.
