[edit] Summary
| Description | A simple black-and-white version of the Spiral Goddess symbol of modern neo-paganism (full-height variant). |
| Date | August 2008 (greatly transformed silhouette of early B.C. predynastic Egyptian figurine). |
| Source | I started with Image:PredynasticFemaleFigurine BrooklynMuseum.png, rotated that photo so that the statuette was vertical, did a vector trace of the outline of the statuette, averaged the left and right halves of the vector outline to impose bilateral symmetry, added a head to the statuette outline, further cleaned-up and manipulated the statuette vector outline to improve appearance, and added a white Archimedean spiral and a legs divider line (cf. Image:Egypte louvre 314.jpg) within the statuette outline. |
