During our visit to Delphi in Greece, I gathered numerous examples of the palmette motif that was found within the ancient site. This decorative element appeared to be present in Greek architecture since ancient times. I thought I’d also share some interesting artefacts found across the site - such a fascinating collection of art and craft brought here from around the world by those who were seeking Oracles prophecy and used the gifts as a means to receive preferential treatment, or simply cut in the cue!
