*The Malia Bees is a gold pendant found in a tomb in 1930 at Chrysolakkos, Malia, Crete. It dates to the Minoan civilization, 1800-1650 BC.
The jewel takes the form of two insects, which are identical (mirror images) joined head-to-head with the tips of their abdomens almost touching
in a symmetrical or heraldic arrangement. The insects’ wings spread backwards. From the lower edges of the wings and a point close to the tip of
the abdomen dangle three discs. With their legs, the insects are “grasping” a centrally placed circular disc and there is a second, smaller, smooth
globule placed above this and between the insects’ heads as if they were eating it.The Malia Pendant is on display at the Heraklion Archaeological
Museum, on the island of Crete in Greece. It is probably the single most famous piece of Minoan jewellery.
