The famous stone sarcophagus from Agia Triada. On one of the long sides there is a scene where a priestess or a queen with a crown, who may perhaps be the widow of the dead man, is carrying buckets full of sacrificed blood, to give to another priestess in front of her; the latter is emptying them between two double axes with birds on top of them.
