This print showcases a remarkable artefact, the Statuette of a Celtic mother-goddess from Alesia, France. Against a striking black background, the vibrant colors of this ancient sculpture come to life. The statuette depicts a powerful female figure, embodying the essence of femininity and fertility. In her hands, she delicately holds bread, symbolizing nourishment and sustenance. This image captures the reverence bestowed upon women as providers of life-giving sustenance in Celtic culture. The intricate details carved into the statue's features highlight its craftsmanship and artistic significance. Now housed in the Musee Alesia, this statuette serves as a window into an ancient religious practice that revered goddesses as divine beings.
