 Both goddesses have a knot with a projecting looped cord between their breasts.Evans noticed that these are analogous to the "sacral knot", his name for a knot with a loop of fabric above and sometimes fringed ends hanging down below.Numerous such symbols in ivory, faience, painted in frescoes or engraved in seals sometimes combined with the symbol of the double-edged axe or labrys which was the most important Minoan religious symbol.
