Sethlans

Back to shelf
Living Etruscan grimoire portrait of youthful beardless Sethlans in a petasos and chlamys, holding one smith's hammer in one source-attested right hand.

Sethlans is a securely named Etruscan youthful male smith and fire deity identified on engraved mirrors. His repeated distinguishing hammer and chlamys support a conservative workshop portrait, while Hephaistos, Vulcan, and the debated Velchans relation remain separate.
