“Bernice Jones’ methodology of combining iconography and textile studies leads her to new interpretations of the pictorial scene in its entirety. The present study is welcome and highly necessary for gaining a more adequate understanding of this material from Pseira.” Fritz Blakolmer, expert in Aegean Bronze Age iconography and professor of Classical Archaeology at the University of Vienna
“The important nature of this Minoan wall painting--one of the most carefully made and meticulously detailed examples to survive from Crete--is emphasized in this convincing reconstruction of the iconography. It will become the accepted reconstruction for this significant fresco.” Philip P. Betancourt, expert in Minoan archaeology and excavator of the Minoan settlement at Pseira
