Among the numerous objects found in Room 18 and the Alcove were at least 15 snake figures made of clay which are, to date, unique in the Mycenaean world.

A single fragment of one of these snakes was found on the stairs leading to the blocked doorway of Room 18.

The snakes were made from a coil of clay mounted on a flat base. They coiled both inwards and outwards and the head was often modelled in detail with bulging eyes and a protruding tongue.
