SEALINGS FOUND WITH TABLETS OF CLASS B 601
In both representations we are carried back to a very different style
of Art the forceful, natural spirit of which is rarely visible in the intaglio
designs of the last Palatial Age, as we see them reflected in the clay
impressions of Figs. 597 a, b. Certain illustrations of bull-grappling scenes
__such as Fig. 004 below—are still inspired, however, with something of
the old tradition.
Isolated Sealings found with Clay Tablets of the Linear Class B.
Besides smaller groups of sealings, such as, for instance, occurred in Isolated
the Jewel Fresco Area, still more isolated specimens were found in con-
nexion with various hoards of clay tablets of the Linear Class B, some of
these themselves a good deal scattered.
These clay impressions, nevertheless, supply an inseparable pendant to
those of the Deposits above described. All these Deposits—with the
exception of the Series C from the Central Shrine—were, as already
pointed out, themselves associated with remains of similar clay tablets, and,
together with the isolated impressions not included in them, had been
derived from upper store-rooms or offices. The precipitation of both
classes of remains was, moreover, due to the same historic cause, the final
catastrophe of the building.
