EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Minoan Clay Figurine Horse and Rider (Goddess), crafted from terracotta in Arkhanes, Crete during the period of c1400BC-c1100 BC. A true rarity from the Post-Palatial Period, this artifact is now housed in the prestigious Heraklion Archaeological Museum. The image captures the essence of ancient Greek religious beliefs and their close association with nature. The horse and rider symbolize power, strength, and divine connection. The vibrant colors on the figurine bring life to this centuries-old masterpiece. As we delve into history through this photograph, we are transported back to a time when deities were worshipped fervently across Greece. This particular goddess holds immense significance within Minoan culture as she represents an important deity whose identity has been lost over time. The intricate details on the clay figurine highlight the skillful craftsmanship of Minoan artisans who mastered ceramics during that era. It serves as a testament to their artistic prowess and devotion to their spiritual practices. Displayed against a backdrop of other archaeological treasures at Heraklion Museum, this object stands out as an emblematic representation of pre-palatial Crete's rich cultural heritage. Its presence evokes awe and wonder among visitors who have the privilege to witness it firsthand. Through this photo print, we are reminded of our human connection with history and how art can transcend time by preserving stories that would otherwise be forgotten.
