STANDING CASE G. Replica of the Harvester Vase

The Harvester Vase was found at Ayia Triada in southern Crete. In its initial publication it was described as a a military procession although now it is widely regarded as a group of agricultural workers: Evans described it as a ‘harvesters’ rout’ (revel). A replica was available to purchase from Gilliéron and son with the bottom half restored; it is possible that a replica of this type was on display in the Exhibition rather than this example with plain bottom half which Evans presented to the Ashmolean in the early 20th century.
