Description

Following the collapse of the Hittite Empire around 1180 BC strange new religions emerged amongst The People of a Thousand Gods.

Kutullu appears to have been worshipped as an aspect of Illuyankas the great sea dragon. Few inscriptions remain and little is known of his cult. This statue hastily buried by priests before his temple fell to invaders is the only known image of the deity.

Cthulhu is approximately 9 inches (22.5cm) tall, including his base, and weighs approximately 330g.

Your Syro-Hittite Cthulhu is one of 616 and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

It was carved from the tip of a mammoth tusk around 13,000 years ago and was discovered in two pieces. It wasn’t until 1905 that it was realised the two reindeer were part of one sculpture and were finally reunited.My tribute to The Swimming Reindeer was originally created for the British Museum exhibition, Ice Age Art: arrival of the m...

Black Madonna sculpture

Images of the Black Madonna became popular in Europe in Medieval times. Their origins are often shrouded in myth and mystery, and they are usually associated with miraculous events.Their intentionally dark colouring may simply be intended to give a more accurate representation of a Middle Eastern woman, but there are many more esoteric explanations. The popularity of the image has been linked to the writings of Bernard of Clairvaux, the Knights Templar, various Gnostic groups, and the Cathars.I...

The White Lady sculpture

The thicket had grown up about it and concealed it, and in the Middle Ages the followers of a very old tradition had known how to use it for their own purposes. In fact it had been incorporated into the monstrous mythology of the Sabbath. You will have noted that those to whom a sight of that shining whiteness had been vouchsafed by chance, or rather, perhaps, by apparent chance, were required to blindfold themselves on their second approach. That is very significant.Arthur Machen - The White Pe...
