The macedonian tomb of the Palmettes - third tomb photos , begining of 3 century bC- look at the ceiling which is like a tholos-( it reminds me of
the Christian church ceilings ) : six palmettes among lillies in a blue fondo . And think that no one will ever see them again when the grave would be closed forever...
