Happy weekend!

Ancient clay pots with octopus decoration from Bronze Age Crete some 3,500 years ago! 🐙❤️

Heraklion Archaeological Museum 📷 by me

#Archaeology
My photo collage shows four pottery vessels, all creamy yellow in colour, with black painted decoration depicting lively stylised octopuses with writhing arms. All on display at Heraklion Archaeological Museum, Crete. Top L - Minoan storage jar decorated in ‘Marine Style’ with a wide-eyed octopus, argonauts, rocks, and coral. Rounded body which tapers to a narrow circular base. Short cyclindrical neck with black wavy decoration reminiscent of waves. Loop handles attached to the shoulders. Height 55 cm. From Zakros, 1500-1450 BC Top R - The iconic Minoan ‘Marine Style’ flask. Rounded body with short cyclindrical neck out-flared at rim, and two small curved handles attached between the top of the spout and the shoulders of the flask. An almost cartoon-like octopus, with wide eyes and sucker-lined arms. Other motifs include sea urchins, seaweed and rocks. Height 27cm. From Palaikastro, 1500-1450 BC. Bottom L - Minoan alabastron, broad at the base, swelling outwards into a fuller belly before narrowing near the top with a very short cyclindrical neck with flat rim. Decorated in “Marine Style” with a wide-eyed octopus among rocks. From Knossos Little Palace, 1450-1370 BC. Bottom R - ‘krater’ with rounded body narrowing at the bottom towards the foot. Wide flaring mouth and rim with black painted wavy decoration, and two sturdy handles attached on each side between the top of the mouth and shoulders of the vessel. Decorated with a front facing stylised octopus with wide eyes and tentacles which loop up and down around the body of the pot, 1370-1300 BC.

This Minoan wine jug is made in the Kamares style. Although it’s now admired for its almost modernist geometric patterns, those two swirls resemble a stylised sea horse (perhaps intentionally). Marine animals were very common in Minoan pottery.

This is the most incredible Bronze Age axehead I know - and I have seen a lot of Bronze Age axes: a jumping cat.

Deep blue skies and deep blue seas surround Heraklion harbor. A sailboat rests in the foreground as the city is reflected in the water and backed by mountains in the center of the image.
