A Minoan ivory box discovered in Crete, Greece, contained 80 amethyst beads along with carnelian and glass paste beads. The carvings on the lid depict an elaborate cult scene with a goddess seated before a tree shrine who is approached by figures to the right. 1625-1470 BCE [2000×2744]

After all the Minoans are considered the first European or Western civilization known for developing elaborate, tailored, and sophisticated clothing, earning them a reputation as early fashion innovators.
I have always found Minoan art, culture, and fashion to be fascinating. Thank you for sharing.
