Here's everything I've found so far about the Minoan Fresco From Thera (Santorini) commonly known as the "Procession of Mature Women". They're in Xeste 3 in the 1st story corridor.Finding good pictures has been challenging since I don't have access to the "one true source" about this ("The Wall-Paintings of Thera." by Christos G. Doumas).Of note: mature ladies wearing snoods, WIDE golden jewelry, embroidered (maybe?) skirts, and fuzzy mantles (though I do wonder if these are the same as the hairy mantles shown on the Hagia Triada Sarcophagus). ...

What's on your worktable?I finished my heanos. I may wear it this coming Saturday to a local SCA picnic.I -SHOULD- be putting the finishing touches on my classes for Pennsic.. but instead I'm reading about the Minoan Thera frescoes, "Procession of Mature Women". The "Rose Bearer", "Basket Bearer", "Lady of the landscape" and the "Lily Bearer" and wandering around in lots of lovely papers.I also learned that the men's "loincloth" may have been called zoma (plural: zomata) (greek: ζῶμα Linear B spelling is zo-ma (𐀿𐀲)) and the men's short kilt may have been called prizoma (greek περίζωμα) and the tunics may have been possibly called chiton (Linear B ki-to (𐀏𐀵): (Derived as χιτών or chiton))The paper by Anne Chapin also includes a tidy topography for talking about Aegean women's clothing.Chapin, Anne. (2008). “The Lady of the Landscape: An Investigation of Aegean Costuming and the Xeste 3 Frescoes.” In Reading a Dynamic Canvas: Adornment in the Ancient Mediterranean World, edited by Cynthia S. Colburn and Maura K. Heyn, 48-83.

Does anyone happen to know which museum houses this fresco? This is two of the four "mature" women found in the corridor in the first story of Xeste 3 (north wall), Akrotiri, island of Thera (Santorini). ... See MoreSee Less
