Bronze Age Lur Ritual

Late Bronze Age Denmark, around 750 BC, a small peat bog on Zealand at dusk. Two people seen from behind kneel at the edge of dark brown bog water among tall sedge, slowly lowering a long curved bronze lur (S-shaped bronze horn) into the water. More dismantled lurs lie side by side on the bank, their mouthpieces tied together in one bundle with a woven band. Low golden sun, mist over the water, quiet and solemn mood, no faces visible. Empty misty sky in the upper third. Painterly realistic illustration, muted earthy palette with glowing bronze --chaos 10 --ar 2:3 --profile yvosu5f --v 8.2
