Abstract
The possibility of complete female nudity on certain Minoan seals received much attention for nearly a century, until E. Kyriakidis demonstrated, through minute inspection of the artifacts, that virtually all of these figures are in fact clearly dressed, in apparently lightweight, ankle-length garments. The clear contrast between female figures thus becomes, not dressed vs. naked, but dressed in flounced overskirt vs. dressed but without such an overskirt.
