Arianrhod Celtic Moon-Mother Goddess. The inner peace of motherhood is expressed by this important artifact from Gaulish France, who wears a torc of rank and gazes quietly while breast-feeding her children. She is similar to the Welsh Goddess Arianrhod, who was associated with the Milky Way and was the mother of the twin boys Dylan and Lugh. This votive image was mass-produced around 100 C.E., probably for household veneration. It was made by a Celtic craftsperson using a two-piece mold, exactly the technique by which we return her to you today.
