. The palace of Minos : a comparative account of the successive stages of the early Cretan civilization as illustrated by the discoveries at Knossos . «(i).. Fig. 399. a, Bone Arrow Plume and 6, Fresco Fragment, apparently of LargeGriffins Wing, showing Notched Plume Decoration. Votive The associations in which these objects were found may be taken to Arrows of iniply that they were dedicated to the Minoan Goddess in her quality ofArtemis. Lady of the Chase, so prominent in her later impersonation as Diktynna or Britomartis, identified by the Artemis. On a cornelian lentoid from Crete, indeed, the Goddess, here of very matronly proportions, is seen in the act of drawing a bow.^ Both specimens of these plumes are smooth below, with two rivet-holes, by means of which they seem to have been attached to a plate of metal. ^ See, too, Knossos, Report, 1903, p. 61. ^ Furtwangler, Antike Gemmen, PI. ii, 24; Berlin, Katalog, No. 2.
