probable, but the proposed identification of the effigies from the top layer is rather doubtful. The fact that the idol, although four-faced, has got one head, indicates one deity with four aspects (Kotlarczyk, 1987, p. 38; 1993, p. 57-58). No one has interpreted the four-headed, not only four-faced, statuę of Sventovit from Riigen as a representation of four deities. The hom, held by figurę A, is known as Sventovit’s attribute. The supposition that A is a female portrait is based only on the assumption that the figures from the upper and the middle layer are of the same sex. The alleged shape of breasts may have been a by-product of sculpturing the hom. If so, we have to reject the intriguing possibility that the Zbruch deity was androgynous (Szymański, 1973, p. 160). Figurę C has got a sword and a horse, which appear at the images of war gods of Perun’s type, like Sventovit and Rugeyit.
