This antique Tibetan Turtle or Tortoise Cosmological Divination print is a unique and fascinating work of art that is rich in symbolism and meaning. This ancient illustration is believed to have been used for divination, or the practice of seeking knowledge of the future or the unknown through the interpretation of signs and omens.
The illustration features nine figures that are said to symbolize the nine elements of divination, which are believed to be closely connected to the natural world and the forces of the cosmos. In the center of the illustration is the Chinese pa-kua, a set of eight trigrams that are believed to represent the fundamental principles of the universe. Surrounding the pa-kua are 12 animals, which are said to represent the months and years, and are thought to hold important clues about the future.
