This figurine was made over 3,000 years ago!

It was produced in Cyprus and most probably represents the Cypriot goddess of fertility, whose name, at the time of this object’s creation, we do not know. Much later she became Aphrodite, the famous Greek counterpart of the Phoenician goddess Astarte.

Peter Mitchell’s brilliant images for a while, so here we go!
Peter worked as a lorry driver in Leeds in the 1970s, photographing the city during his rounds.
Beautiful and evocative work that is a moving reminder of community.
