1973 Studio Ceramic “Pythia” Sculpture by Pollack

Pollack ceramic sculpture believed to depict “Pythia” / The Oracle of Delphi draped in a cape with a headscarf holding a crystal ball. Pythia was forcibly taken by Apollo, the Greek god of truth and prophecy (and more), and the crystal ball was a symbol of his strength. This depiction suggests that Pythia has reclaimed her power by seizing the ball from her captor.
