A gem from the Marija Gimbutas collection

This image includes a photo that Marija Gimbutas used in The Language of the Goddess and includes the book editing aspects – note the caption with her handwritten edit as well as measurements of the image for proper setting for production of the book.

Chalk replica of a Bronze Age drum with face of an owl from Folkton Wold, East Riding, Yorkshire c. 2000 B.C.

Gimbutas wrote in The Language of the Goddess that this is “evidence for the Goddess’ association with music, particularly drums [and] comes from a bronze age inhumation grave of a child in a British tumulus.”
