From the large cist grave which was discovered on
Skyros in 1935. The grave offerings attest that the cist probably
contained a double burial i.e. of a man , the earlier (late 11th -early
10th c. BC.) and of a woman, the later (900-850 Bc.). Most of the objects,
which furnished the female inhumation, bear witness to the island's wealth
and indicate that the deceasedbelonged to an important family. The
location of Skyros was significant in this period, because it served as a
bridge between Greece and the East. |
Ten gold bosses with empbossed decoration ,which
were found on the female's chest , must have been fixed on a garment of
cloth or hide. From the large cist grave on Skyros (11th c. BC.). National
