Marble figurines are the most impressive creations of Cycladic culture, and Cycladic figurines of the Early Cycladic period fall into two main categories: schematic and naturalistic.<\/p>\n

The most common type of schematic category \u2013 characteristic to the Early Cycladic I period (3200 \u2013 2800 BC) \u2013 is the violin-shaped figurine. The name refers to the shape, and we know that such figurines represent females. These figurines are usually small \u2013 rarely exceeding 15-20 centimeters. Other than the schematic figurines, we have several examples of artifacts that depict the human form in a more naturalistic way. The naturalistic figurines of this period include, for example, the so-called Plastiras type (named after the homonymous Early Cycladic cemetery on Paros).<\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
