Description: Snake Goddess - Chtonic Aspects - Symbol of the Underworld, Fertility and Sexuality - Bronze Age - Minoan Civilization - Ceramic Artifact DetailsMaterial:CeramicCondition: New, Handmade in Greece.Height: 23 cm - 9,1 inchesWidth: 8 cm - 3,1 inchesLength: 6 cm - 2,4 inchesWeight: 380 g The two famous figurines of the Minoan earth goddess with the snakes, possibly representing a mother goddess and a daughter, are exquisite examples of Minoan miniature sculpture. The smallest of the two shows the goddess standing, holding snakes in both of her raised hands. She wears the elaborate Minoan garment - a tight vest with sleeves, which bares her ample bosom, and a long skirt with seven horizontal tiers and a short apron - and an equally elaborate head-dress on which a panther sits. The rather flat, lifeless body is enlivened only by the opulent garments and head-dress. By contrast, the triangular face is dominated by the huge expressive eyes, which convey all the tension of the figure. This figurine was found together with the another similar but larger figurine, and other precious objects. ΣΕΜ 01-055 ΘΕΑ ΟΦΕΩΝ ΜΕΣΑΙΑ - 27 *********************
