Abstract

ABSTRACT:A Final Palatial lapis lacedaemonius seal, here called the Sissi Genius Lentoid, was recovered during the 2018 excavation of the Court-Centered Building at Sissi, East Crete. The seal instantly drew attention because of its rare material and unique iconography that shows a Minoan genius flanked by the foreparts of two agrimia. An examination of the object within the context of Late Minoan II–III hard stone glyptic, particularly the lapis lacedaemonius seals, reveals ideological and sociopolitical links between Sissi and other Cretan sites, including neighboring Malia. The lentoid belongs to a group of seals that clearly formed prestige items used by sociopolitical elites who were exercising control over the surrounding land, possibly as delegates of the Knossos palace.

茜茜天才透镜:来自最终宫殿克里特岛的青金石镶边印章

摘要:2018年，在东克里特岛西斯法院中心建筑的挖掘过程中，发现了最后一枚宫殿青金石镶嵌印章，这枚印章被称为Sissi Genius ltoid。这枚印章因其罕见的材料和独特的图像而引起了人们的注意，该图像显示了一个米诺斯天才和两个agrimia的前肢。在米诺斯晚期II-III的硬石雕文背景下对该物品的检查，特别是青金石镶嵌的印章，揭示了Sissi和其他克里特岛遗址之间的意识形态和社会政治联系，包括邻近的Malia。这个形像属于一组印章，这些印章显然是社会政治精英使用的威望物品，他们可能是克诺索斯宫的代表，正在控制周围的土地。
