Knossos palads - tyrekastningsfresco

Foto, Knossos - Palace, 1500 – 1400 BC, motiv: The Bull-Leaping Fresco, b: 40 h: 30 Foto fra Heraklion Archaeological Museum på Kreta. Uden ramme / glas. A bull-leaping scene, vividly depicting how the spectacular sport was performed. There are three participants, two white-skinned women and a brown-skinned man. One of the female athletes is restraining the bull by the horns to reduce its speed so that the leaper, performing the dangerous backwards somersault, will not be gored. The second female athlete, behind the bull, is waiting with outstretched arms to catch the leaper as he lands. The fresco was found on the east side of the palace of Knossos, together with fragments of others depicting different stages of the same sport. Er varen stadig til salg? JA
