Double headed Axe Sterling Silver 925 handmade pendant Inspired by the double-axe of the matriarchal Minoan civilization.

Size: 4cm x 2.6cm

Double headed axe (Labrys)
The 'labrys', a double-headed axe, was also known in ancient Greece as a 'pelekys'

The symbol was often found during the Bronze Age archaeological recovery at the Palace of Knossos on Crete.
It is known to have a strong religious significance, for specific use by Minoan priestesses.

Of all the Minoan religious symbols, the labrys was the holiest.

To find such an axe in the hands of a Minoan woman would suggest that she held a powerful position within matriarchal Minoan culture.


The labrys today is a symbol of feminist strength, women power and, of course, of the kinship of lesbian women around the world.


Gold originals, upon which this piece is based, were found in a sanctuary in the cave of Arkalochori in Crete and date to before 1600 BC.

Inspired by the double ax of the Mithraic Minoan civilization.
