It varied significantly in different locations, but in general it is characterized in vase painting by a sophistication in the representation of figures and animals, including the portrayal of recognizable mythological figures and narrative scenes. Sculpture from this period depicts a wide variety of animals and human figures that are stylized, but more naturalistic than in earlier art. ]]></termNote><termCreatedDate>2026-03-30 20:57:05</termCreatedDate><relation><relationType>UF</relationType><termId>31434330</termId><termName>Geometric, Late</termName><termType>ND</termType></relation><relation><relationType>BT</relationType><termId>31406730</termId><termName>Geometric</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation></term>  </Zthes>
