Goddess on the Throne

Goddess on the Throne (Albanian: Hyjnesha në fron; Serbian: Богиња на трону, romanized: Boginja na tronu) is a terracotta figurine found at the site of the Tjerrtorja spinning mill in Pristina, the capital city of Kosovo, in 1956.

[1] The figurine represents a female deity, reflecting the cult of the great mother idol.

One of the most precious archaeological artifacts of Kosovo, it has also been adopted as the symbol of the city of Prishtina.

[3] Goddess on the Throne was borrowed in late 1998 by the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts Gallery for their exhibition titled Arheološko blago Kosova i Metohije - od neolita do ranog Srednjeg veka (Archeological Treasure of Kosovo and Metohija - from the Neolithic Period to Middle Ages).

In 2002, the-then president of the Coordination Center for Kosovo and Metohija Nebojša Čović returned the figurine to Pristina as "a sign of goodwill towards Kosovo Albanians".
