I made a thing 😊 A medal for myself based on a Bronze Age Minoan seal. Original CMS IV 257, found in Malia. Dated LM I-II (so... roughly 3500 years old). It was red jasper so I used a red background. I think it's a crane, though the original publication just said "bird" 😅

Here's the thing, I'm not an artist or anything. But I love Minoan seal designs, and I think it is a travesty they're not more popular in souvenir terms, so I decided to get crafty 😄

A round, bronze colored pendant with an image under a glass lens in the middle. The image is a stylized bird in flight, on a red background. The pendant is in the palm of my hand, 3cm in diameter.
Drawing of a round Minoan seal. Stylized figures of a crane in flight, another one standing and looking up at it. And two symbols that look like a ship and a sun.

@TarkabarkaHolgy that's super cool! Now I'm going down the rabbit hole of Minoan seals. Thanks!
