Minoan Double Axe earrings Minoan Double Axe earrings
The double-axe, known as Labrys, was the supreme symbol of Minoan religion, and possibly signified the mother-goddess, as it never appears in the hands of a god, but only as a sacred tool in her cult.

The Labrys was originally the sacrifical axe, and in time, it assumed a sacred importance of its own - it was inhabited by the divine spirit (the Minoan Snake Goddess).
