Sacred Female Figurines

The art of cultural diffusion.

When we go back far enough, we can see multiple commonalities recurring in the symbols and ritual artifacts of diverse Neolithic cultures (over 12,000yrs ago). These shared commonalities were not limited to ancient cultures as these also appear in more recent Indigenous societies across the Americas, Africa, some parts of Asia, Australia, and the Pacific Islands. Research shows these cultural commonalities are not only stylistic but thematic, symbolic and conceptual. Thus, showing a deeper shared lineage, especially related to the interconnected motifs of womanhood.

Motifs of Womanhood

The iconography associated with womanhood and fertility share two prominent design forms across cultures and belief systems. The inverted triangle and the sacred female figurines can be found throughout our shared migratory routes.

Motifs of Duality

We believe in the importance of duality. Women can be immeasurably strong and vulnerable in equal measure; both fierce and nurturing. Our strength sits within that innate ability to carry both masculine and feminine energy.

Here we explored the shared iconography associated with masculinity and the joining of the two forms of energy.
