Nicosia, Capital of the Republic of Cyprus

Terracotta figurines, Cyprus Museum

Dedicatory terracotta figurines, dating to the 7th and 6th centuries BCE, from the Santuary of Agia Irini in NW Cyprus, in the Cyprus Museum in Nicosia (also known as the Cyprus Archaeological Museum), the oldest and largest archaeological museum in Cyprus. About 2000 figurines, only two of whom were female, were found deposited round an altar. A large number portray warriors and war-chariots indicating the worship of a warrior-god in the form of a centaur or minotaur.
