Mycenaean cup with spirals

Reproducton of a Mycenaean cup decorated with spirals. 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 labors of Hercules, the Trojan War, the Thyestean Feast, and the tragic life and death of Agamemnon.”
This cup, likely a ceramic artifact, originated in Minoan Crete where the spiral motif was commonly used in ceramic artwork during that time period. The cup is decorated with beautiful, one-color spirals and was found in archaeological excavations. These practical objects were used in everyday life and serve as evidence of the link between Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations.

Handmade, hand painted museum-quality artwork.
