Summary edit
| Description |
English: Bronze vessels and tools from Graves III, IV, and V, Grave Circle A, Mycenae. 16th century B.C.
The royal graves, especially the richer ones III, IV, and V, contained a whole series of hammered bronze vessels, such as cauldrons, jugs, tripods and large kraters, only a small number of which is on display. This abundance of bronze vessels denotes the wealth of the Mycenaen rulers. Bronze was also used for the elaborate weapons and tools that were deemed appropriate funerary gifts. It is noteworthy that very few vases made of clay, a common material, were found in these graves. 10. Bronze three-pronged fork. Grave IV. Inv. no. 515. Natural Archaeological Museum of Athens.
