Above is a mold I made for a copy of the first labyrinth I found, in a favourite book - 'The Woman's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets' by Barbara G Walker. It is of a labyrinth on a clay tablet found at Mycenaean Pylos, a town of Minoan Crete. It is the so called 'classical' labyrinth.
This next labyrinth is a finger labyrinth I made so you can trace the path with a finger, even with your eyes closed, and follow to the center and then out again. The labyrinth is copied from a coin with the labyrinth symbol on it, struck in the first millenium BCE, and found in Knossos, Crete. Below is the first clay model, still wet, before I made the one-piece plaster mold for absorption method slip casting.
