Summary
During the neopalatial period, many stone vases are produced, much more elaborately than before, by highly specialised artisans working for the palatial elites, whether it is to do with prestige objects or vases for cult use, as with the zoomorphic rhyta mentioned in Chapter 23. This change is clear in the choice of materials, in the making of complex forms, and in their decoration, which sees the addition of carved relief scenes. Those from the villa of Haghia Triada, like the group of stone vases found in the Sanctuary Treasury of the Zakros palace, are among the best examples of this expertise.
