Scope note
Refers to the style of marble, folded-arm type figures produced in the Cycladic archipelago between roughly 2800 or 2600 and 2300 BCE. Named for the site where they were discovered, this type is characterized by spade-shaped heads, rounded contours, and a wider use of incision to depict anatomical details.
