| The Small collection is from a variety of sites, the palaces of Knossos and Phaistos, The Villa of Ayia Triada and other Tombs. I has to rush through as Max (he was having a wobbily) was outside with Yves and I had to take photos quickly (sorry, if some are out of focus) and make a few sketches. There were objects I'd never seen before and was very happy to see them. |
