Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Annual of the British School at Athens, Vol. 10: Session 1903 1904
Thanks to the invaluable help of M. Gillieron, it was further possible to carry out an elaborate scheme that I had long had in view for grouping together the earlier discovered Miniature frescoes into connected designs. Two panels were thus reproduced, one showing a small temple and halls on either side, with ladies seated or standing in the foreground and throngs of men behind. The other depicted walled enclosures with trees and with similar spectators overlooking a court where gaily dressed women were engaged in a mazy dance: Fresh interesting fragments were also detected of the painted reliefs exhibiting parts of a male figure with a ?eur-de-lzlr crown, and these permitted the restoration of the entire figure of what was not improbably one of the priest-kings Of Knossos. The centre of the crown was found to be adorned with peacocks' plumes.
