Summary

[edit]
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 File: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. File:Egypte louvre 314.jpg) within the statuette outline.
