Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to the style of artistic production on the Cycladic archipelago between roughly 3500 or 3000 and 2000 BCE though some authors date the period from circa 2500 to circa 1900 BCE. Artworks include stone vases, wall paintings, and most typically, pottery and marble figures. Early pottery is burnished and decorated with incised rectilinear or curvilinear designs and includes the frying-pan type, while later works are matt-painted. Marble figures are characterized by spare, elegant, and geometric forms and include most commonly the folded-arm type.
