Fragment of a Mycenaean wall painting 13th century BCE.

Fragment of a Mycenaean wall-painting depicting a female figure participating in a procession, which bears offerings to the goddess. Her elegant head is shown in profile, while her body is depicted frontally. She holds a lily in her left hand, a gift to the goddess. 13th century BCE.

The 13th century BC wall-paintings from the rooms of the Cult Center at the south-west section of the Mycenaean citadel, near Grave Circle A, are especially important.
They include a scene of religious offering to a goddess and the representation of figure-of-eight shields, which may symbolize a military deity.
