Etruscan, Greek, Roman and Oriental Talismans
Numbered figures and portable objects fill a comparative plate captioned Etruscan, Greek, Roman, and Oriental Talismans. A caduceus, a crescent beneath a face, a hand, a ring and small animal forms vary the silhouettes. William Thomas Pavitt’s signature identifies the illustrator. The arrangement brings objects of different origins together for the Pavitts’ historical account of talismans.
