Inhabiting the Greek islands of Thera and Crete between 3000-2000 BC, the Minoan Civilization flourished because of its extensive sea trade with the Egyptians and its many colonies. Bull jumping is believed to have been part of Minoan ritual. In this image, a priestess vaults head-first over a charging bull. Now in the Heraklion Museum, Crete, this reproduction fresco (c. 1500 BC) from the Palace at Knossos is hand painted with an aged, cracked surface and brilliant blue fresco hues. Imported from Greece, wood backing, ready to hang, 21"W x 12 1/2"H x 1/2”D.
