Dacian Godess (Dačanske Boginje)

       Sacred Images of ancient Romania

      Dacian Godess (Rumunija)

 

three figurines with long skirts and incised decorations
Clay goddesses have been excavated from Cîrna and other sites in Romania and over the border in northern Bulgaria. They show women standing with their hands to the center and incised with spirals, plant symbols, dotted patterns, and other symbols. They seem designed for placement on altars.
broken clay figurine of the same type

Many have punctillated patterns within a vulvic triangle.
Oltenia, Romania, circa 1600 to 1200 BCE.
dark clay figurine, skirt broken off
Another broken figurine from Oltenia, with abstract face.
full-sized clay figurine with long skirt and incised patterns
Like many, this figurine has a necklace with apparent plant
patterns and spirals on her chest. From Círna.
another fullsize figurine with patterns
Again, spirals on the chest, a pillar-like head, but arms
only suggested, and the skirt has vertical patterns. Orsoja, Bulgaria.
