Snake Goddess Minoan Statuette at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, USA.

Exhibited at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Boston, USA. "She stands with arms held to the front and each hand grasping a gold snake. She wears a crown, a gold girdle, a full skirt with five flounces edged with gold bands. Part of the skirt at the bottom, the right arm and the portion of the snake coiled about it are restored.
She has long been admired by many experts, but some have questioned her authenticity. Her face has been seen as "too modern-looking," and her hips too narrow for a Minoan woman. Scientific testing has proven inconclusive." -- Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. USA.
