Product

DANCING GODDESSES II is an original linocut print celebrating the sacred feminine through imagery of prehistoric goddesses. The hand-printed artwork presents a body-positive interpretation of small female figurines found across the Paleolithic era and later history.

 Small prehistoric goddesses figurines have been found dating from the paleolithic era all the way through history. Many believe they were fertility deities as often the breasts, belly and buttocks where prominent. Other statutes may have been house gods or representations of ancestors.
