EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Late Minoan burial in a Bath Tub Sarcophagus, dating back to the 11th century BC. The image captures an artifact of great historical significance, currently housed in the Archaeological Museum in Heracleion, Greece. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this ancient object bring to life the concept of death and burial practices during the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete. The sarcophagus itself resembles a luxurious bath tub, emphasizing both its utilitarian purpose and symbolic meaning.
