from the museum in [https://ca.heraklionmuseum.gr/ca/pawtucket/index.php/Detail/objects/218](https://ca.heraklionmuseum.gr/ca/pawtucket/index.php/Detail/objects/218) :
>The female figure and the posts were found in different rooms of the Tomba degli Ori, the “Tomb of the Gold Ornaments”. Their restoration together in a single composition was based on the similarity of their fabric and decoration, the existence of holes through which a string could pass, and the fact that the female figure appears to be suspended in mid-air.
