EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Terracotta Goddess from the shrine at Karphi, Lassithi, Crete, dating back to the 12th century BC. The Minoan settlement of Karphi emerged following the Invasion of Crete by the Dorians during this time period.

Currently housed in the Archaeological Museum of Heraclion in Crete, this image captures an important piece of European religious history. The horned goddess depicted here is a powerful deity representing fertility and femininity. Her raised arms and gesturing hand create an aura of strength and authority. The bronze age craftsmanship evident in this terracotta sculpture is truly remarkable. Its intricate details highlight its significance as both an archaeological artifact and a cultural treasure. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only its historical value but also its artistic beauty.
