Pendant - Figurine of the “Φ” type

Silver pendant in the form of a Mycenaean clay female figurine of the “Φ” type, a category of Mycenaean figurines named after the corresponding letter of the Greek alphabet due to its similarity in form (Late Helladic IIIA-B period, 1400 - 1200 BC). These figurines are often interpreted as depictions of deities, food or even as children's toys.
