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.
