Reproduction of the "Great S-spiral frieze" fresco. Culture: Mycenaean. Dimensions: Overall: 36 x 26 1/2 in. (91.4 x 67.3 cm). Date: ca. 1400-1200 B.C..Excavated 1884 west of the Great Forecourt of the Tiryns palace.Ornamental spiral friezes have a long history in Minoan art. The version seen here with alternating up-and-down spirals and fan-shaped papyrus lotus blossoms became the favored ornate band frieze used to decorate most of the Mycenaean palaces. It has been suggested that the wide distribution of such a complicated pattern supports the idea of a traveling guild of fresco painters operating on the Mycenaean mainland. E. Gillieron, pere was hired in 1910-1912 by the Germans excavating at Tiryns to assist with the reconstruction of the many fresco fragments found at the site. The original is in the National Archaeological Museum, Athens. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
