Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age Cycladic culture is best known for its flat female idols carved out of the islands' pure white marble. This beautiful illustrated book explores these periods in Cycladic culture and how the natural environment of the islands shaped its art. It also addresses the settlements of these periods and the artefacts produced by the potters marble-carvers and metalworkers.
Items from the Museum's Collection are also presented, followed by commentary and comprehensive texts that venture at the items' probable significance and functions.
