The Kamares featured whole - field floral designs with all elements linked together (Matz). In MMIII patterned vegetative designs, the Patterned Style, began to appear . This phase was replaced by individual vegetative scenes, which marks the start of the Floral Style . Matz refers to the "Age of Efflorescence", which reached an apogee in LM IA . (Some would include Kamares Ware under the Floral Style .) </P> <P> The floral style depicts palms and papyrus, with various kinds of lilies and elaborate leaves . It appears in both pottery and frescoes .

Green, the natural color of vegetation, appears rarely . Depth is represented by position around the main scene . </P> <P> LMI marks the highwater of Minoan influence throughout the southern Aegean (Peloponnese, Cyclades, Dodecanese, southwestern Anatolia). Late Minoan pottery was being widely exported; it has turned up in Cyprus, the Cylades, Egypt and Mycenae . </P>
