Description
This is an image from the Palace of Minos, the excavation report on Knossos by Sir Arthur Evans. On the back of a crystal plaque a red bull has been rendered in the classic "flying gallop" style that was used in the Minoan period to ellucidate something in motion. The larger image that this was once a part of may have depicted a Minoan ritual of bull jumping. The bull is articulated as a single mass. Distinctive muscle bulges or deliniation of the neck area is not found. See all items with this value
