Draped in a white robe and wearing a girdle with crystals of augury, the Arch Druid also sports a breastplate of judgment and tiara, symbolizing his role as both spiritual leader and arbiter of justice. In his hand, he holds peithynin (omen sticks), further emphasizing his connection to divination and ancient rituals.
The attention to detail in this illustration by Robert Havell is remarkable, capturing the intricate elements of the Druid's attire with precision. The hand-colored aquatint brings out the vibrancy of each component, adding depth and richness to the scene.
