Cycladic figurines are small, abstract sculptures created by the ancient Cycladic civilization in the Aegean Sea, primarily during the Early Bronze Age (around 3200-2000 BCE). These figurines are typically made of marble and feature simplified human forms, often with elongated bodies and minimal facial features. They were commonly found in graves, suggesting they may have had a ritual or funerary purpose. The most recognizable Cycladic figurines depict female figures, often with arms crossed over their bodies. While their exact meaning remains uncertain, they are believed to represent fertility, beauty, or deities. Today, these artifacts are highly valued for their artistic simplicity and cultural significance.
