The Mycenaen culture was located in greece in the thirteenth century B.C. this was begun around the 1600 B.C. This cvilation was heavily influenced by the Minoan Crete culture. This peice was created during the bronze age. Though it was made during the bronze age it was made from other materials which were abundant in the mycenean culture at that time. This was located in mainland greece.

Though we do not know who made this, it is known that it was hand made. This is made from terracotta. This is made from clay but not on a potters wheel. it is like pottery but it is not used for the same thing. this figure couldve been for a releigous ceremnony or for decoration.
