Spouted bowl&nbsp;is a common type of vessel that was used either in everyday life or in rituals.&nbsp;The bowl is provided with a spout on one side and a lug on the other. Such vessels were used in the Cyclades for pouring liquids or as oil lamps. Some of them also were mixing vessels for cosmetic purposes.

CYCLADIC ART COLLECTION

The bird has been interpreted as a dove, a popular decorative theme in the Cyclades, often encountered on vases and a variant of jewellery.

FIGURINE OF A BIRD

Female figurine of the 'Folded arm' type.&nbsp;The Cycladic figurines of this form represent female figures standing naked, with the arms folded below their chest. Their abstract refined figure probably represents a great "Mother Goddess", symbol of fertility and rejuvenation.

FEMALE FIGURINE

The violin-shaped figurines are the earliest manifestation of Cycladic sculpture. The form of these figurines renders schematic views of the female body.&nbsp;They presumably served as amulets or talismans.
