Minoan Phaistos dish pendant

Ceramic tray or dish from the Palace of Phaistos, Minoan Crete, ca 1700BC. Each of the four spirals has a floral motif at the centre. Kamares ware is named after the cave sanctuary at Kamares on Mount Ida, Central Crete, where the first vases of this decorative type were found by shepherds in 1890.

The pendant setting is made from metal alloy and the glass cabochon is 25mm across. Choose a 24” (60cm) silver tone chain, or an 18” (45cm) black leather cord or black organza-&-cotton cord. A pendant on a chain or organza-&-cotton cord comes in a sturdy black card gift box; a pendant on a leather cord comes in an organza bag, so as not to distort the leather by tight folding.
