Italian Minoan Artwork II

[helens_daughter]

Two more of the Italian Liebig Minoan collector cards.  I did a little more research and discovered that this set was issued in 1953, rather than earlier, as I had assumed; the artwork looked very late 19th-early 20th century to me.

Note: the lady presenting the casket in the throne room scene is actually Mycenaean, not Minoan.  On the far left wall in that scene is the background from the famous Prince of the Lilies fresco.  The famous Toreador fresco is on the wall above the right-hand door, and the man carrying the rhyton behind the woman comes from the Offering Bearers fresco at Knossos.

Also note: the fisherman in the fishing scene is NOT based off the Akrotiri frescoes, as the site wasn't excavated until 1967.
