Click Image for Gallery
A handcrafted replica of the iconic Minoan Snake Goddess (c. 1600 BC), discovered in the Temple Repositories of the Palace of Knossos and displayed in the Heraklion Archaeological Museum.
Iconography & Details:
Attire: Depicts a youthful woman wearing a layered flounced skirt and an apron decorated with a geometric diamond pattern. She wears a tight, short-sleeved bodice tied with an elaborate knot at the waist, exposing her breasts.
Symbolism: The figure holds a snake in each hand—symbols of rebirth, wisdom, and domestic protection—while a small cat rests atop her head, symbolizing divine authority.
Hair: Her long dark hair hangs down her back and curls gracefully over her shoulders and chest.
Specifications:
Height: 27 cm (10.6 in)
Material: Fine casting keramin with pure bronze elements (snakes and cat)
Exclusive Detail: Unlike fragile all-clay replicas, the delicate yet vital parts (such as the snakes and the cat) are cast in pure bronze by our workshop. This expert craftsmanship not only elevates the artistic value and luxurious finish of the figurine, but also ensures superior durability against accidental breakage.
