PAINTING "BOXING CHILDREN" FROM SANTORINI

2.22

An isolated panel on a red background in the Archeological Museum of Athens is dedicated to the “Boxing Children”. The two adversaries are wearing nothing but belts, and their long black hair is braided into elegant plaits. Both are wearing boxing gloves on their right hand. This scene probably shows some sort of ritual combat.
