"The Haruspices were Roman Priests trained in the art of telling the future from the entrails of sacrificed animals, normally the liver from sheep and poultry, but on special occasions a sacred bull would be sacrificed. This set is composed of an alter with sacrificial fire burning on top, with the priest in his toga symbolically covering his head, ready with his knife to remove the organs. His assistant stands by with a platter on which the liver will be disected and ‘read', while the sacrificial animal (in this set, a garlanded sacred bull) is led forward ready to be dispatched. An expectant Roman Senior Officer stands by ready to see what the Gods have in store…."

The set seems to be lacking anybody to actually kill the bull – usually done with a big axe, as shown at link or link |

That original post was put up on the website in November. These are seemingly not a single "kit" -- but instead offered as two "sub-sets." And… the "shaggy-haired kid" leading the bull has the axe… link |
