Imitating other cultures since they were not very rich in their own culture. Covered in a thin layer of gold. Pouring libation and o erings to the gods. Thought to represent a real type of sanctuary. Pierced to be worn on a string. Ring from archanes lm = 1600 - 1500 bc. Large scale minoan sculpture hasn"t really remained. Lots of details and care used for a ritual object. Same size but one is more valuable than the other. Bull leaper lm = 1600 - 1500 bc. Ivory is imported from africa (hippos or elephants) Nest grain of any material you can sculpt.
