EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a terracotta figurine of a female in a bell skirt with raised arms, dating back to the Minoan civilization between 1400 BC and 1090 BC. The exquisite craftsmanship is evident in this clay sculpture, which measures approximately 17.1 cm in height. Displayed at the Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford, UK, this ancient artifact offers us a glimpse into the rich history of Crete and Greece. The figurine depicts an elegant woman wearing a bell-shaped skirt and raising her arms gracefully. The intricate details are enhanced by pigments that have survived through centuries, adding depth and vibrancy to the piece. This artwork was discovered at Petsofas and is believed to have originated from Knossos. In addition to this remarkable female figurine, there are also references to two male figures within the same display. One man is missing his left arm and both shins but features distinctive brown paint on his codpiece and arms folded across his chest. The other male figure stands upright with hands placed on his chest while carrying a dagger at his belt; however, parts of his legs, one arm, and some sections of the dagger have been restored. These ancient artifacts provide invaluable insights into Minoan culture's artistic expressions during their flourishing period. They serve as reminders of our shared human heritage while showcasing the skillful pottery craft industry prevalent during that time.
