Net Goddess Dating from 700 BCE, this image comes from central Greece but replicates designs from Minoan Crete executed 2000 years earlier; this time span emphasizes the cultural importance of the barrel-womb shaped lady of fertility. Rectangular net patterns front and rear may symbolize the "waters of life," and the birds and plant fronds emphasize her life-giving power. This Neolithic Lady prefigures Diana of Ephesus , Lady of the Beasts.
