Depicted is the rectangular courtyard at the palace of Knossos. The artist uses size diminution among the four figures (pictured on a diagonal) to show receding space. Close attention is show to the garb of each figure, and the headpiece of the rearmost figure on the right suggests that we are witnessing a ceremony and/or ritual. See all items with this value

Notes
More women are depicted here than men. This is interesting when observed in reference of the theory that the Minoans were a matriarchy.
