On the other hand

Another interesting aspect of the woman in the middle, is the fact she seems to be holding her neighbor’s necklace. Although it looks like the hand is drawn correctly, it seems a bit weird to hold someone else’s necklace. Why would she do that?

The issue here is with the restoration of the original fresco, so you are welcome to think of a way to reconstruct the fragments differently. For example, in the current restoration the arm in the background between the two heads belongs to the woman on the right. But what if this hand could belong to the woman in the center? The hand that is part of the fragment would then belong to the woman on the right. In this case, she would be holding her own necklace, just like the other women. However, the hand would then be painted from the artist’s perspective, which, as we said above, is feasible in Minoan frescoes. Can you perhaps think of another possible position of the hands?
