Lion Gate, Mycenae, Greece. 1300 BCE. Mycenaean. limestone relief panel; 9’ 6" high. lots of fortresses in Mycenaean architecture; due to it’s location in the gulf, under threat of attack. very vulnerable; reachable through sea and land gate protected by two lionesses. more fierce than their male counterparts because they protect their young and do all the hunting post and lintel technique. two posts to support the bar above to create the archway largest sculpture from Mycenae. -- source link
