Faience figurines of the Snake Goddess. The goddess, or priestess, is depicted with exposed breasts and wearing a rich garment. Her bared breasts suggest her capacity as fertility goddess.<br>(An explanation of the reconstruction of this partial statue can be found in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C.W._Ceram" class="extiw" title="w:C.W. Ceram">w:C.W. Ceram</a>'s 1958 book, <i>The March of Archaeology</i>. The photo of this statue was published by all the medias of countries after the statuette was discovered-(<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Evans" class="extiw" title="w:Arthur Evans">w:Arthur Evans</a> of the Knossos diggings). The figure on her head is only one possibility.)
