Info

At the Museum of Ayios Nikolaos all sorts of votive offerings from the peak sanctuaries are on show: small clay animals, pottery, and legs and arms, used to ask the gods for good health or a rich harvest The small clay figurines - both male and female - are in the typical worshiping pose of the Minoans
Archaeologists have also found bronze figurines and animals and objects in gold. The peak sanctuaries first appear in the Middle Minoan period and some remained in use up until the Late Minoan period The female figurines have elaborate hairstyles and wide skirts, while the male figures wear only the sacred knot and a dagger
