Cycladic Figurines of Ancient Greece, 4th and 3rd Millennium BCE
Most of the marble figures were sculpted in the Cyclades during the late 4th and 3rd Millennium BCE. The sculptors used simple tools, like obsidian for cutting and emery for polishing.
Found in settlements and tombs, these figures may have served as representations of the dead, of gods and goddesses and their followers or as offerings and amulets.
When the figures were first discovered, some still bearing traces of painted decoration, they were generally considered crude and ugly. Later in the 20th century their simple form influenced artists like Picasso, Modigliani and Moore.
