EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Mycenaean Woman in the Kitchen: A Glimpse into Ancient Greek Domestic Life, ca. 1500-1100 BC" 2. Description: This terra-cotta figure, dated between 1500 and 1100 BC, showcases the daily life of a Mycenaean woman in ancient Greece. Discovered in Arcadia, Peloponnese, Greece, and now housed at the Archaeological Museum in Strasbourg, France, this piece is an excellent example of Mycenaean art. The woman is depicted in an upright, vertical position, with a colourful and decorative robe adorned with intricate patterns. Her age is difficult to determine, but her robust figure suggests a woman of working age. 3. Scene: In this scene, the woman is shown in her domestic setting, likely in the kitchen, as indicated by the presence of various cooking utensils and a large, earthenware pot. The woman's expression is calm and focused, indicating her concentration on her tasks. Her posture is strong and confident, reflecting the important role women played in Mycenaean society. 4. Cultural Significance: The Mycenaeans were an ancient Greek civilization that flourished from approximately 1600 to 1100 BC. They are known for their advanced civilization, which included a complex political and social structure, as well as impressive architectural and artistic achievements. This figure provides a rare glimpse into the daily lives of the Mycenaean people, particularly the role of women in their society. 5. European Heritage: This figure is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Europe, specifically the ancient Greek civilization. It serves as a reminder of the artistic and historical significance of the Mycenaeans and their contributions to European history. The figure's journey from Greece to France is a testament to the global appreciation and preservation of ancient art and culture.
