Mycenaean idol of “Psi” type

Female figurines with arms folded or raised in an attitude of supplication are the commonest types of Mycenaean ritual objects. They are small in size, handmade and are usually called Phi-type, Psi-type and Tau-type because of their similarity to the corresponding letters of the Greek alphabet (Φ, Ψ and T). Their symbolism was complex and their use probably varied according to the circumstances. In general, they are thought to represent goddesses, while some scholars believe that they may have also been used as toys.
