EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Camp-Stool Fresco, a remarkable piece of Minoan art dating back to 1450-1350 / 1300 BC. The fresco was discovered at the palace of Knossos in Crete, Greece and is now housed in the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion. The scene depicted on the fresco portrays a ceremonial banqueting moment, offering us a glimpse into the vibrant culture and civilization of ancient Minoans.
