Cup from Mycenae – spiral decoration

Mycenae was a prominent center of power during the Greek Bronze Age, and Mycenaean culture has inspired ancient epics and legends, including the dynasty of the Atreidae, the labours of Hercules, the Trojan War, the Thyestean Feast, and the tragic life and death of Agamemnon. This cup likely originated in Minoan Crete, where the spiral motif was commonly used in ceramic artwork at that time. Decorated with beautiful, one-color spirals, these items were practical objects used in everyday life and serve as evidence of the link between Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations.
