A Collection of Images: Part 3

Continuing my collection of images that I've photographed from the Dionysus book. Here are more images that I hope that you enjoy and thanks for looking at them.

Below: Female figure with coiled snakes. Faience statuette from the palace of Knossos. Heraklion, Archaeological Museum. And the one below is a figure holding snakes. From the same museum.

















Below: Idol of a poppy goddess. Clay statuette from Gazi, Heraklion, Archaeological Museum. What I really love about this one is the little poppies growing out of her head.

















Below: The honey thieves on one vase, a amphora from Valci. London, British Museum. The second amphora has enthroned maenads with satrys on the other side.

















Below: Hunt scenes and scorpion, on a black figure vase by Nikosthenes. London, British Museum.

















Sorry about accidentally publishing this before I had everything. Really need more sleep.
