This hand-colored woodcut print takes us back in time to witness a momentous event steeped in ancient Celtic tradition. The scene unfolds deep within a mystical forest, where Druid priests are meticulously cutting mistletoe from the sacred oak tree. Their solemn ceremony is observed with curiosity by Roman soldiers, their presence a reminder of the clash between two distinct cultures. The image exudes an air of mystery and reverence as we glimpse into the spiritual practices of these enigmatic Druids. Dressed in flowing robes, they wield sickles with precision, carefully gathering the mistletoe believed to possess magical properties. This ritualistic act carries profound significance for these tribes, symbolizing fertility, healing, and protection. Amidst this ethereal setting lies an underlying tension represented by the Roman soldiers standing guard nearby.
