These figurines are recreations of artefacts from ancient cultures. 'Minoan Votive Offering Figurine', four white figures, and ‘Minoan Fertility Goddess Figurine' were excavated from a sanctuary site outside Akrotiri, Greece. Associated with the practices of a mystery cult ritual, these figurines were left as votive offerings by girls as a coming of age ceremony before marriage.
