Stalks of grain flank the pair on either side, with a third between their heads. This agricultural tableau of grain and cattle illustrates the twin pillars of the Aegean Bronze Age economy, animal husbandry and arable cultivation. The style of the bovines is distinctive, particularly the almond-shaped eyes, porcine snouts, and the pronounced dewlaps on their necks and chests, suggesting that they are bulls.<br /> <br /> Minoan-Mycenaean, 1630-1440 BCE.

In section, the toothed part (with a minimum of forty-nine teeth) is triangular and the down-turned handle is rectangular. This is one of five combs for personal grooming found in the grave of the Griffin Warrior. It remains adhered to a fragment of the warrior's armor. A foliate band, carved into the surface of the ivory shaft, is unique for a Mycenaean comb. The type itself, however, is common on the Prepalatial Greek mainland.<br /> <br /> Its presence in the grave may point to ritual hair-combing in preparation for battle, as was the case in Sparta in Classical Greece?<br /> <br /> Minoan-Mycenaean, 1520-1440 BCE.

The construction year is not known with certainty, yet the monastery was mentioned in documents as early as in 1685. The name originates from the homonym monastery in Constantinople. The monastery celebrates on July 2 (deposition of the Theotokos's Sacred Belt).<br /> <br /> 🇬🇷<br /> Μονὴ Παναγίας Βλαχερνῶν<br /> <br /> Λήψη τῆς Ἱερᾶς Μονῆς τῆς Παναγίας Βλαχέραινας (ἄλλως Παναγίας τῶν Βλαχερνῶν) ἀνατολικὰ τῆς λιμνοθάλασσας Χαλικιόπουλου (νῆσος Κέρκυρα).
