Reconstruction of Procession in Central Court at Knossos

Abstract

This image depicts a procession, likely religious, held in the Central Court in Knossos. There are many men dressed only in colorful loincloths marching, dancing, and clapping in an orderly manner. One man is dressed in a priest's robe based on the Harvester Vase. Some of the men carry what look like brooms. The image seems to be depciting a celebratory procession. There is a large building in the background with mutliple floors and colorful markings on the outer wall, representing the Tripartite Shrine and other areas on the west side of the Central Court at Knossos. The horns of consecration can be seen.
