@phistorians@kolektiva.social absolutely enchanting. Thank your for posting.
Any idea what the animal on the far right is? The one the goddess is sitting on?

@sewblue@sfba.social often identified as a serpent or a dragon, no one is entirely sure. Is it mythical or was it modelled on a real animal? The mystery remains with this one!
