Nile Goddesses 3,000 - 4,000BC Neolithic Egyptian. Height 26cm (10¼")
Available in a turquoise glaze, a green weathered bronze glaze and now available in a terracotta, buff craft crank or black clay versions with painted underglaze, reminiscent of how they were 1st painted to represent the River Nile. More images of all of these coming soon.
These Goddesses were found in graves in late Neolithic and early Bronze Age settlements in & around Naqada on the banks of the river Nile. They pre-date the pyramids from a time before Egypt was unified under the Pharaohs. The shape of these Goddesses also appears as figures painted on to pots of that time, often floating above painted boats on the river Nile.

Cycladic Goddesses
Bronze Age Greek 2,000 - 3,000BC. Height 36cm (14¼") Available in a range of colours & glaze textures.
These Goddesses were first carved in the Cycladic islands in the Aegean, but were exported all over the Mediterranean region as far as Turkey & upper Egypt. Like the Naqada Egyptian Goddesses above, their exact role is unknown, but they were found, sometimes many at a time, in graves all around the Mediterranean. They were originally highly painted & would have been very colourful. £85 each plus postage or shipping. Check availability.
