Numéro d’image : 11598545
| Head of the Uffington white horse with modern pagan flower tribute in the eye. The Uffington White horse (Oxfordshire,UK) consists of a series of trenches dug into a hill and filled with chalk. At over 110 metres long it is the largest and oldest of the "white horse" figures found in Britain having been dated to between approximately 1200-800 BCE by optical stimulated luminescence testing (OSL) of the soil beneath the trenches. Its purpose is unknown. It may have been a cult symbol of the horse goddess Rhiannon,or a representative of the mount of the sun god Belinos. The steep sided dry valley in the distance is 'the manger' where local lore has it the horse feeds on a moonlit night. The flat topped hill centre upper of picture is 'Dragon Hill',which is a natural mound associated in legend with St. George | |
