This small terracotta depicts a young woman from Crete wearing a very elaborate headdress. Paleo-palatial period, 2000-1700 BC.
“The paleopalatial age reached its artistic apex with Camares ceramics…” asserts Alexiou (1967), who documents a similar headdress found in a mountain sanctuary on the Kofinas on the southern coast of Crete.
