Found in large numbers in tombs and shrines, these small clay idols of a female deity date from the late period of Mycenaean culture, which reached its greatest flowering during the 14th and 13th centuries BC. Typical of these simply shaped and painted figurines are the ankle-length, belted clothing amply folded at the torso, a kind of crown and specific arm postures. Because of their similarity to the corresponding letters of the Greek alphabet, these types of figurines are known as phi and psi idols. (Φ & Ψ)
