Abstract
The image is a picture of a recreation of a storage magazine. It appears to be an illustration showing a moment in time when the storage area (likely in a Minoan palace) would have been fully in use. The image shows 8 young men lifting burlap/cloth sacks. The sacks are strangely tied in multiple areas so that they appear to bulge, and they are bringing the sacks from a hallway into rooms behind doors off the main area. The men wear only loin cloths, and a few wear headbands or armbands. They all have long hair. The floor and walls of the storage magazine appear to be made of stone, while there are wooden beams on the ceiling and wooden doors. A few men are also reaching into recesses in the floor to extract more sacks, and it looks like these recesses can be covered with slabs. There is one storage barrel standing upright, and one labrys hanging on the wall.
