A small earthenware statuette was evacuated from the votive-depot of acropolis of Gortys, an ancient town in South-Crete/Greece. This ex-voto is dated approximately 7th to 6th century BC and very probably represents some symptoms of a stroke, especially the left facial palsy and the contracture of the left arm. Since the Minoan time until today, people of Crete have been offering ex-votos to gods or saints to ask for help in specific diseases.
一个小陶俑从希腊克里特岛南部古镇戈尔蒂纳卫城的奉献物存放处移出。这个还愿物大约可追溯到公元前7至6世纪，很可能表现了中风的一些症状，尤其是左侧面瘫和左臂挛缩。从米诺斯时代至今，克里特岛的人们一直向神灵或圣徒供奉还愿物，以求在特定疾病方面获得帮助。
