The Phaistos Disc is an archaeological find from the Minoan city of Phaistos in southern Crete and probably dates back to the 17th century BC. It is one of the best-known mysteries of archeology, since the purpose of its construction and the meaning of what is written on it remain unknown. The disc was discovered on July 3, 1908 by the Italian archaeologist Luigi Pernier and is currently kept in the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion. The disk has piqued the imagination of many archaeologists, both professional and non-professional, and several attempts have been made to decipher it. Many interpretations of his text have been proposed, such as that it is a prayer, the telling of a story, a geometric theorem, a diary, etc.Handmade brass sculpture, quality guaranteed.Traditionally made using the metal casting method and museum-like oxidation.
