Another Minoan seal design, because why the heck not 😄 Evans described it as "goddess reposing on the waves of the sea". Just chillin. It's one of my favorites. 🥰 The second pic is the original artifact.

An oval glass pendant on my palm, 2cm wide. It features the black line drawing of a stylized Minoan figure, a woman in a flounced skirt and bare breasts reclining against a blue and green background of stylized waves.

I really enjoyed making the pendant in the previous post :) I am thinking about making some more from my favorite designs.

Which ones do you think are the best? :)

I made a thing 😊 A medal for myself based on a Bronze Age Minoan seal. Original CMS IV 257, found in Malia. Dated LM I-II (so... roughly 3500 years old). It was red jasper so I used a red background. I think it's a crane, though the original publication just said "bird" 😅

Here's the thing, I'm not an artist or anything. But I love Minoan seal designs, and I think it is a travesty they're not more popular in souvenir terms, so I decided to get crafty 😄

A round, bronze colored pendant with an image under a glass lens in the middle. The image is a stylized bird in flight, on a red background. The pendant is in the palm of my hand, 3cm in diameter.
Drawing of a round Minoan seal. Stylized figures of a crane in flight, another one standing and looking up at it. And two symbols that look like a ship and a sun.

I freaking love Minoan seal designs 😄 "Stylized wild goat." Mood.

Topic 10: Hoaxes and secrets

Book:
Mysteries of the Snake Goddess: Art, Desire, And The Forging Of History, by Kenneth Lapatin

This book delves into the questionable origins of the Boston Snake Goddess figurine. To provide background, it also deals with the long history of Minoan forgeries, and Sir Arthur Evans' track record of creating Minoan history and art from excavated artifacts. Good context for Bronze Age Crete and our view of what it was like.
