Wooden Idols from Medieval Riga

These carved wooden figurines (12th–13th cc.) include a single-headed idol from Albert Square and a fragment of a four-headed one. They were discovered in Riga and reflect the pre-Christian beliefs and spiritual practices of medieval Livonia's inhabitants during the transition from pagan traditions to Christianity.
