However, the symbolism which surrounds the eyes speaks for an even more fundamental attribute, namely that the eyes, like the Goddess's breasts or mouth, are a Divine Source. The pictorial association of eyes with snakes and the representation of eyes by snake coils was a widespread phenomenon in both south-eastern and western Europe.The snake's energy, it was believed, was drawn from water and the sun. The affinity of snake and Divine Eye is pictorially expressed on this Cucuteni lid, the eyes are snake spirals bordered by snakelike bands. Cucuteni, NE Romani 3800-3600 B.C.
