Lera:It’s a fair question , look at what she is standing on/between in the picture.
It’s a pair of horns (moon shape) . That’s why I asked why do they depict her that way ? It’s not the first time I have noticed this as I have seen her pictured before like this on other icons/statues . What is the reason for putting her in between these horns /moon shape ?
