 | Mysterious Relics: Pantheon-Specific Temple Objects & Furnishings Regular price: $1.99 Bundle price: $0.99 Format: PDF
| In addition to religious trappings common to the temples of many lands and gods — like altars and deities’ holy symbols — certain objects, furnishings, sacred animals, and other items of a ritual nature might be found only in the shrines of specific deities or pantheons.
