Early Romans used the practice of augury to divine the will of the gods. There were several different types of auguries, one of which, augury ex avibus, was the practice of divination by birds.
The auguries interpreted two aspects of birds in particular, their noise and flight pattern. Only certain birds were considered messengers of the gods, however. These included the eagle, the vulture, the crow, the raven, the owl, and the hen.
This artwork was partially inspired by the English artist and designer William Morris , whose intricate work I admire.
Giclee (pronounced Gee'clay) is a French term for an archival art print of museum-quality reproduction. The image has all the tonalities and hues of the original painting and is printed on acid-free fine art paper. Because it's of archival quality, the colors will not fade over time.
Buyer has the choice of an off-white/cream matte or a black matte with their purchase. Please specify which you prefer in your paypal order.
