Cycladic Thinker Statue | |
|
During the period
between 3200 and 2000
B.C. the small
Cycladic islands in
the Aegean became
home to a flourishing
culture. The most
prominent craft in
Cycladic culture was
stone-cutting,
especially marble
sculpture. ?The
abundance of high
quality, white marble
on the islands,
encouraged its wide
use for the creation
of a wide range of
artifacts. Among
these, Cycladic
Figurines are the
most distinctive
Cycladic creation
because of the great
numbers in which they
are found, and the
significance they
held for their
owners. The majority
of Cycladic Figurines
show women, nude with
the arms folded over
the belly and the
long feet, soles
slopping downwards.
We do not know
whether they were
meant to show mortals
or deities, but
probably symbolized
the worship of
the 'Mother Goddess'.
In this case, the
figurines may have
been conceived as
representations of
the Goddess, or
companions to her.
