Agora Object: J 5

Inventory Number:		J 5
Section Number:		Η 303
Title:		Gold Seal Ring
ΤΙΤΛΟΣ:		Χρυσό σφραγιστικό δακτυλίδι με παράσταση Μινώταυρου (;) που οδηγεί δύο αιχμάλωτες 1400 – 1375 π.Χ.
Category:		Jewelry & Gems
Description:		The man strides right; behind him are the two female figures in flounced skirts; the man holds a spear or branch; from his waist two lines extend to the first woman. Small symbols in the field to the left and above. According to Dr. Karo "the I-like symbol or pillar to the left is an altar, or simplified "Kultgebaüde". The symbol above, is perhaps a soul. Not much can be said about the head of the man (which appears hardly human) because of the sketchiness of the drawing". The hoop, flat in section, is turned out slightly at either edge. Light gold, very thin. The scene is to be compared with scenes in Evans' "Tree and Pillar Cult", of a man shaking a tree while women look on. The style is to be compared with that of the Tiryns seal with a boat and personages, (a man and a woman).
ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ:		Χρυσούς σφραγιδοφόρος δακτύλιος, με ανθρωπόμορφη σχηματοποιημένη παράσταση.
