Goddess or Priestess
Minoan, 16th century BCE or early 20th century (Late Minoan or modern)
This statuette closely resembles the ceramic and faience examples found in the sanctuary known as the “Pillar Shrine” in the Minoan palace of Knossos on the island of Crete. Many of these objects are identified as priestesses or goddesses and are associated with fertility, painting the picture of a matriarchal Cretan society. However, current research suggests that most of the gold and ivory statuettes were made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. At that time, the idea of a Mother Goddess (now discredited by scholars) was popular in archaeological circles.

26 - ink
Had too much other stuff to do and on my mind the last few days but I hope to catch up and make it to the end of the list :)
Imperfect Jasnah is my favourite Jansah. Something about being human.
------------------------
image description:
a digital scratchy line drawing of Jasnah holding a paint brush over a blank piece of paper. She sits very straight and poised which stands in contrast to her expression of disgust and disapproval and the ink splatters and stains both on her face, dress and arm. A large puddle of ink is spreading on the paper as well. Next to it and a glass ink pod, stands the dark, small figure of Ivory. His legs are unusually long and he wears stiff black clothing and has a little topknot on top of his head. He leans forward and says: "that was unfortunate."
The figures in the foreground is shaded with a pale purple and are set against a background made of a very pale yellow.

One last memento mori -- an unsettling rosary bead, with a small sculpture of two young, prosperous lovers on one side and a reminder of death on the other:
