Mycenaean lily bearer fresco 1325-1225 BCE

"An example of crocus-decorated cloth can be found in a fresco from the  Cult  Center  at  Mycenae  as  well:  a  fragment  of  material  on  the  left  shoulder of the Lily Bearer features red trifoliate motifs (Fig. 5). This more stylized crocus is directly comparable with a type used as decoration on pottery. The motif is similar in concept if not in style to the examples in the frescoes from Akrotiri, and its presence on a female’s garment  reinforces  the  identification.  On  Crete,  the  only  fresco  with  a  depiction  of  a  textile  possibly  decorated  with  a  crocus  was  recovered  at  Palaikastro (Fig. 6)."
