Document Summary

*there are fewer than 2000 of these early cycladic. They are fairly small, usually not more than 20 cm in length. These anthropomorphic figurines include more anatomical detail than the earlier ec schematic figurines. The posture of these figurines appears to be with pointed toes, head tilted back, and arms folded over stomach. These figurines are typically displayed standing, but perhaps their posture and burial context rather suggest that the figurines were depicted as lying down. There are different versions of these figurines: there are male and female figurines, seated, double, musicians, and warriors. Traces of bright-colored paint indicated that the figurines were decorated with details of the face and body representing tattooing, scarification, jewelry, feminine post-partum lines or mourning face-gouging. They were produced over a 600-700 year stretch during the third millennium bce. These figurines are found in contexts from the early cycladic period of the early bronze age of about.
