GREECE PELOPONNESE KORINTHIA NEMEA MUSEUM

Small, but very spectacular are the gold sealing rings, also from the Mycenaean cemetery of Aidonia, dated to the 15th century BC. Most of them show religious scenes like a sacred dance and a ritual procession of women (probably priestesses), but also a chariot.
