EDITORS COMMENTS
Svetovid, the Slavic deity of war and sun, is depicted in this intricately detailed handcoloured copperplate engraving by Scrantoni from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World." The god is shown as a four-faced being, each face representing a different aspect of his complex nature: the warrior, the sun god, the fertility deity, and the protector. In one hand, Svetovid holds a bow, symbolizing his role as a god of war, while in the other, he cradles the horn of abundance, or cornucopia, representing his association with fertility and prosperity. The temple in the background, adorned with intricate carvings and columns, serves as a sacred space where the faithful come to seek his blessings. A priest, dressed in traditional Slavic garb, stands before the god, observing the behavior of a white horse tethered nearby. The horse, with a bridle adorned with symbols of Svetovid, is believed to be an oracle, its actions and movements revealing the will of the god. The priest's intense focus and the solemn atmosphere of the temple create an air of anticipation and reverence, as the faithful await the divine guidance that will shape their lives. This illustration offers a glimpse into the rich and complex spiritual traditions of the Slavic peoples, a testament to their deep connection with the natural world and their belief in the power of the gods to shape their destiny.
