Original file (SVG file, nominally 466 × 718 pixels, file size: 17 KB)

Description A somewhat abstract (black-and-white only) simplified/stylized representation of the ancient Minoan snake goddess statuette, used as a symbol in the "Goddess movement" of modern times. Portions of photographs such as File:Snake Goddess Crete 1600BC.jpg or File:Snake Goddess - Heraklion Achaeological Museum retouched.jpg were traced to vector outlines, and the vector outlines were greatly simplified and symmetrized for the SVG. (This image is about the modern symbol of feminist spirituality and/or goddess-worship and/or matriarchy, more than about the exact details of the archaeological statuette.)
