Thought I’d share this article over here too, since it’s open access (the paper itself is in English - just FYI!)

I love these starter packs - is anybody working on an #Egyptology / #AncientMediterranean style starter pack?

Description from the museum: “A stylized octopus flanked by fish covers each side of this stirrup jar, named for the shape of its handles. Mycenaean pottery often reflects Minoan-inspired themes and techniques that originated on the island of Crete. Animated marine motifs adopted from Minoan art began to appear on Mycenaean vessels in about 1500 BCE and were initially rendered in a very naturalistic manner. Here, the symmetrical composition and abstract depiction of the sea creatures are characteristically Mycenaean. Such jars were commonly used to transport liquids.”

Mycenaean terracotta jar ~ c. 1200–1100 BCE

Gaze into the hypnotic eyes of this ancient octopus and marvel in the Mycenaean artistry on display. The poor fish must be just as bamboozled really.
