Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to the style of marble figures produced in the Cycladic archipelago during the Early Cycladic period but specifically during the period between roughly 3500 or 3000 and 2800 or 2600 BCE. Named for the site of their discovery on the island of Paros, the figures include representations of both male and female figures. They are characterized by a sense of naturalism represented in their almond-shaped heads, facial features depicted in low relief, arms bent at the elbows, hands meeting at the chest, legs placed apart, and flat-soled feet.
