Minoan faience figure of a Snake Goddess, 17th century BC

Minoan faience figure of a Snake Goddess, from the central shrine of the Minoan Royal Palace at Knossos in Crete. Her bare breats emphasise the maternal nature of the goddess. The small panther on her head may symbolise Mistress of the Animals, and the snakes symbolise underground deities, or the protective household snakes. In the Archaeological Museum in Heracleion, Crete, 17th century BC
