EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases three remarkable artifacts from the Mycenaean civilization, dating back to 1400-1200 BC. On the left, we are introduced to a striking terracotta female idol known as the Psi type. This sculpture features a pinched head adorned with an elaborate flaring headdress and arms raised in a crescent-shaped body. The intricate details are highlighted by vibrant orange-red glaze, giving it a mesmerizing allure. In the center stands another terracotta female idol called the Tau type. With its pinched head and high flaring headdress, this figure captivates viewers with its folded arms across her breasts. The hollow flaring body is meticulously crafted, and delicate touches of orange-red glaze add depth and character to this ancient masterpiece. On the right side of the composition rests a miniature model of a throne from Mycenaean IIIB period. Standing on tripod legs with an openwork back, this intricately decorated piece boasts dark brown hues embellished with straight and wavy lines. Together, these artifacts provide us with valuable insights into the artistic prowess of Mycenaean craftsmen during their golden age. Preserved through time, they serve as tangible reminders of an ancient civilization's rich cultural heritage that continues to fascinate art enthusiasts today.
