Leucippe

This one is a survivor; born and made of earth and weather. She is graceful and sturdy, in tune with the many rhythms of the land and even its harshest elements. Her form is ancient and rounded, like Japanese ema, Tang dynasty sculpture, and like those horses on the cave walls at Lascaux.

Leucippe is pronounced "lyoo-kipp-ee" and means "white mare" in Greek. Leucippe was a barley goddess in Rome. She's also linked with Epona, the Celtic horse goddess who was widely worshipped throughout Europe and Rome.
