Hepatoscopy or divination by the liver. The Babylonians thought they could discover the will of the gods by examining the livers of carefully selected sheep, seen here the Babylonian king awaits the verdict of the diviner who is conning the liver in his hand, whilst a scribe takes down his words for future reference. From Hutchinson's History of the Nations, published 1915.
