The Inner Peace of Motherhood is expressed by
this holy Lady from Gaulish France, who wears a torc of rank and gazes
quietly while breast-feeding her children. She may be the Welsh Goddess
Arianrhod, associated with the Milky Way and mother of the twin boys
Dylan and Lugh. This votive artifact was mass-produced around 100 CE,
probably for household veneration. It was made by a Celtic craftsperson
using a two-piece mold, exactly the technique by which we return her to
you today.
[Carolino-Augusteum Museum, Salzburg, c. 100 CE]
