NYC -- Met -- Greek/Mycenaean

.

My recording of the info that accompanies the art is sporadic at best. I think all of this is Mycenaean, with the possible exception of the woman, who looks more Greek to me. An idealized woman, not a portrait...........

I'm glad no one can make me have a hair style like that, but I like looking at hers..... She looks like she has a headache -- maybe from having all those things done to her hair?





Those Greeks/Mycenaeans really knew how to shape a pot. LOVE the shape of the pitcher-thingy, and love the way the decoration waves up and down over the shape....





I did get a pic of the information for this piece. It is Mycenaean. Another gorgeous shape, and I love the decoration........







In order to facilitate chronological traverse of these NYC posts, a link to the next one is here.
