Earthen Mother Watercolour

Published:
3.2K Views

Description

This is a painting of the Saxon Goddess Erce, or Nerthus, who is the Goddess of fertility and of the earth.

The ring along the edge was inspired by the work of Alphonse Mucha and contains Anglo-Saxon runes which spell out 'Earthen Mother', a phrase taken from a famous Anglo-Saxon land-fertility (i.e. farming) charm.

The original's for sale for $300 (email me to buy), or you can buy it printed on Cafepress Goodies here (more to come in the next day or so :) ) [link]
