PLATE XXXV

Veles

This deity of flocks corresponds to the Ganỹklos (Dė̃vas), or "(God) of Pasture," of the pagan Lithuanians. This representation, from a picture by N. Aleš, is highly idealized (cf. his conception of Svantovit, Plate XXXIV, 1, as contrasted with the ancient statue reproduced in Plate XXXI).
