The Lady of Mycenae, fresco, height: 53 cm, 13th cenury BC, from the Mycenaean Acropolis. The serious and pensive expression of the goddess reveals the solemnity of the moment, as she accepts an offering - a necklace that she holds tightly in her right hand. She wears a short-sleeved bodice over a blouse that emphasises her breasts. Her intricate hairstyle commands attention, as does her rich jewellery - bracelets and necklaces.
