In art, the Minoans used precious materials like gold, silver and ivory in the fabrication of decorating objects. For example, Minoan craftsmen were able to make very beautiful ivory seals. These seals were not only used for business purpose, but also are “articles of luxury” (Hutchinson, Prehistoric Crete, 135); they were finely made and the best among them (the Middle Minoan II B ones) were surpassing in grace in the ancient times (Hutchinson, Prehistoric Crete, 135).
