DescriptionLinearPotteryCulture vase design (redrawn with symmetry).svg | A regularized version (re-created from scratch with imposed symmetry) of the design on a ca. 5000 BC "Linear Pottery culture" vase found in Czechoslovakia, as depicted on page 187 of the book Goddesses and Gods of Old Europe by Marija Gimbutas (1982). Gimbutas interprets the central element as a butterfly and/or labrys motif... | |||
