Ancient Cypriot Art

The Exhibition of Cypriot art in the Museum of Cycladic Art, one of the largest outside Cyprus, presents the Th.N. Zintilis Collection. The Exhibition includes rare prehistoric figurines, Archaic and Classical sculptures, inscriptions, bronze objects, coins, impressive gold jewelry, glass objects, and various types of clay vessels dating from the 4th millennium BC to medieval times.

The pottery is presented in ten showcases, covering a wide chronological range from the mid-3rd millennium BC to late antiquity. This is followed by individual thematic sections on worship, weaving, perfumery, burial customs, writing, metalwork, coinage, seal carving, and foreign relations. The exhibition concludes with glassware and jewelry, which are presented in sections according to their date and type.
