The Bird Mother and Divine Child linocut print

THE BIRD HEADED MOTHER AND DIVINE CHILD | Original goddess linocut print

An Original Linocut Print of the bird headed mother and divine child figurine from Tyre, Lebanon. The figurine is dated to 1500-1200 BCE making this goddess very ancient indeed. 

Handprinted by myself at my home studio in the Northeast of England, so everyone is slightly different and unique.

Small female figurines have been found dating from the paleo lithic era all the way through history. Many believe they were fertility deities as often the breasts, belly and buttocks where prominent. This goddess has a bird head and a small bird like baby in her arms.

 

 

  • The print is approximately 28cm x 74cm and is handprinted on beautiful thick somerset velvet paper, with Caligo safewash ink in black.
    Each print is signed for authenticity and comes with a descriptive note about the mythology of the design.
