This print showcases the Minoan Poppy Goddess, a remarkable artifact from the 15th century BC. The stunning image captures her divine presence, with poppy-heads adorning her majestic crown. Hailing from a shrine at Gazi, near Heracleion on the enchanting island of Crete, this goddess exudes an aura of power and femininity. The vibrant colors in this photograph bring to life the intricate details of the goddess's attire and hand gestures. Against a striking black background, she stands as a symbol of nature's beauty intertwined with religious significance. The Archaeological Museum of Heracleion proudly houses this extraordinary piece that embodies both artistry and spirituality. As we gaze upon this studio shot by CM Dixon, we are transported back in time to ancient Greece where deities were worshipped fervently.
