(A shrine to the Household Gods) Butser Ancient Farm (permanent collection) Oil & acrylic on birch & walnut wood In ancient Roman times a Lararium (a shrine to the household gods) would have been a feature in every Roman household and used in the practice of everyday private worship by every member of the home. In June 2023 ‘The Lararium Project’ saw the installation of my new shrine for Butser Ancient Farm, a museum of experimental archaeology.
