Use it to drape over your couch, as an extra layer on your bed, or to keep warm while pondering the virtues of a good life. A Little Minoan Wisdom: Did you know the Minoans, a thalassocracy (sea power) that flourished over 3,500 years ago, built massive palaces without defensive walls? This suggests they were a relatively peaceful people whose power and safety came from their superior navy and trade networks across the Mediterranean. They loved art, colourful frescoes (often depicting bull-leaping), and had a sophisticated written language, Linear A, which scholars still cannot fully decipher! Luxurious Comfort: Made from ultra-soft, warm, and cosy fleece material. Ancient Elegance: Features a sophisticated Minoan pattern in calming blue and ivory. Versatile Decor: Perfect as a couch throw, bed blanket, or decorative accent. Unique Gift Idea: Ideal for history enthusiasts, art lovers, or anyone who appreciates comfort. Minoans were famous for bull-leaping rituals, which were likely religious or sporting events. Their palaces had advanced indoor plumbing systems, including flush toilets, centuries before other cultures. The "blue" in the design echoes the Minoans' close connection to the sea.
