Cylinder Seal with a Nude Goddess

Description This unusual seal shows two nude female figures squatting on stools with their legs spread and bent, perhaps in childbirth. Each holds flowers in both hands, a symbol of fertility. Between them stands another figure, perhaps a childbirth goddess. The image is uniquely Cypriot.
