Clairvoyance Etrusca Prediction

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning bronze sculpture, Haruspice, dating back to 350 BC, captures the essence of ancient Etruscan art and culture. The haruspex depicted in this piece is a priest who consulted the entrails of sacrificial victims to predict the future - a practice known as haruspicina. Standing at just 17 cm tall, this intricate carving showcases the skill and craftsmanship of its creator. The details in this sculpture are truly remarkable - from the delicate features of the haruspex's face to the flowing robes that drape elegantly around his body. Each line and curve has been expertly crafted to bring this figure to life, offering a glimpse into the beliefs and practices of an ancient civilization. Displayed in the Museo Gregoriano Etrusco in Vatican City, this piece serves as a reminder of our connection to history and our fascination with divination and prophecy. As we gaze upon this work of art, we are transported back in time to an era where mysticism and spirituality played a central role in society. Luisa Ricciarini has captured not only the physical form of Haruspice but also its symbolic significance within Etruscan culture. This print serves as a window into our past, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty and complexity of ancient artistry.
