The term "Cycladic" refers to the ancient culture and art of the Cyclades, a group of islands in the Aegean Sea, primarily during the Early Bronze Age (approximately 3000-2000 BCE). This civilization is known for its distinctive marble sculptures, particularly the iconic figurines that often depict human forms, characterized by their abstract and minimalist style. Cycladic art also includes pottery, tools, and other artifacts that reflect the daily life and beliefs of the people. The Cycladic civilization played a significant role in the development of later Greek culture, influencing art and trade in the region.
