Mitre with inscription, bronze, chased, engraved, punched, bronze, total: height: 17 cm; width: 23 cm, inscription: Front: | , protective clothing, armor (warfare/military), weapons (warfare/military), ritual objects and accessories, votive offerings, burial objects, ornaments, lotus ornament, early archaic, Greek antiquity, The mitre is an arch-shaped protective plate for the abdomen, whose convex forged rounding corresponds to the shape of the human abdomen. They seem to be a Cretan peculiarity. Suspended from rings, miters were probably attached to a belt worn under the protruding edge of the bell armour. The edges of miters are usually rolled around a reinforcing wire like the breast and back armour. On some, a figurative representation occupies the entire segment surrounded by the parallel bars. Here, however, there is a two-line inscription in the center. This is one of the oldest Greek inscriptions known. In Boustrophedon ('how the ox ploughs') the following text is engraved in the opposite direction: 'Karisthenes, the son of Peithias carried him away'. The two flat edge strips formed by the border strips contain finely carved and punched ornaments: a lotus palmette tendril and a row of teeth.
