Here, in no particular order are my results.
Happy New Year!

In order to help you specialise further in Haruspicy I thought you might find the attached photo of the "Piacenza Liver" of use.
It is an Etruscan bronze found, not far from where I live, about 120 yrs ago - the liver of a sacrificial animal could be "read" by the Auspices - each section being related to a particular deity -the priest who performed such divination was called a
bārū.
In the meantime "Happy New Year" to you and the rest of the Acrylic-household.
