Artemis, inspired by Late Bronze Age Art artwork.

Some interpretations of the Bull Leapers from Knossos suggest that the white skinned figured are women - potentially girls permitted to don typically male garb for sports. Hence, the inspiration for Artemis' garments. Like at Knossos, yellow is chosen, a colour likewise tied with Artemis. The hair is inspired by the Late Cycladic wall paintings from Akrotiri. The shaved haircut has been suggested as a sign of youth (although I think this may be outdated - I need to chase this up). The idea is to symbolise Artemis' role as protectress of maidens/girls/young women. Personally I think it looks a bit like a snake which ties in with the Snake Goddess statuettes. The glass beaded necklace is light blue and she wears silver armbands. Silver has been suggested to have ties with the moon (a later association with Artemis) and light blue can also provide a similar connection.
