IMAGE number: BL3266258
Image title: 'An Arch Druid in his judicial habit'. Clothed in a stole of virgin white,over a closer robe of the same, that is fastened by a girdle on which appears the crystal of augury, encased in gold. Round his neck is the Jodhain Morain, or breast-plate of judgement, said in Irish fables to possess the power of squeezing the neck on the utterance of a false judgement. On his finger is the Iogh-Draoch, the chain-ring of divination. His hand rests on the Peithynin or Elucidator, which is on the stone altar.The holy snake drinks a sacred beverage. On the altar lies a gold horn and vessel, and a sprig of mistletoe. The cell of Ceridwen is covered by a veil, on which is drawn the magical steed, Try-cethin.
