Historical context

The National Archaeological Museum’s Mycenaean collection brings together weapons, palace material and representations of warriors, including the Warrior Vase and Warrior Stele. These provide a setting for studying Bronze Age equipment and imagery. The present horned design is an Archaeopolis interpretation; its exact relationship to any individual archaeological find is to be confirmed for a commission.
