Hands Up , Everyone !!
These charming pottery figures were in the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion , Crete. They were made by the extraordinary Minoans ca. 1300 - 1200 BC . In some respects , they remind me of ancient chess pieces but on the far right is one described as the Poppy Goddess . With their stylised stance they could well be of religious/mythological significance, praying or offering blessings .
