Historical-Criticism news
Il divinatore tenta di conoscere le cose occulte mediante la manipolazione delle katakora.
Il bene appartiene al corpus di 185 oggetti donati al Museo da Tiziano Veggia (1893-1957). Veggia lavorò come ingegnere nel Congo Belga per la Compagnie du Chemin de Fer Bas Congo-Katanga (1919-1936) e per l’Otraco (1936-1951), affiancando alla sua attività lavorativa la pratica del collezionismo. Nel maggio 1955 donò la sua collezione al Museo Civico di Torino
