Antiquarian grimoire painting of the living Irish deity The Dagda

The Dagda is a major Irish divine figure whose medieval narrative record associates him with kingship, power, a great club or pronged staff, a cauldron, and a harp; this portrait uses only the source-described heavy build, short cape, grey-brown tunic, and enormous pronged object.
