Phaistos Disk from Minoan Crete Button
- from our Affiliates
You may edit the color of the symbols by choosing the product's background color (the artwork is a 'mask') The Phaistos Disc is a disk of fired clay from the Minoan palace of Phaistos on the island of Crete, possibly dating to the middle or late Minoan Bronze Age (second millennium B.C.). The disk is about 15 cm in diameter and covered on both sides with a spiral of stamped symbols. Many attempts have been made to decipher the code behind the disc's signs. While it is not clear that it is a script, most attempted decipherments assume that it is; most additionally assume a syllabary, others an alphabet or logography.
