This is the largest fresco in situ. It includes three women on two different levels. The frescoes are located behind a household altar indicating that at least one of the women is a goddess. The woman on the left appears to wear a possible chemise.
From Ancient-Greece.org:
The figure on the far left appears below a representation of a door decorated with rosettes. She holds two sheaves of wheat. To the right, one female figure with a sword faces another woman holding a staff, and between them is a small male figure suspended in mid-air. One of the females is dressed in a Minoan-style dress, while the other two in typical Mycenaean outfits.
It’s also worth noting that other frescoes on Crete are about 200 older than this fresco.
