Cycladic Figurine in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, September 2009

Cycladic Figurine in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, September 2009
Marble Female Figurine
Cycladic, Early Cycladic II, late Spedos type, ca. 2600-2400 BC
Namepiece of the Bastis Master

Accession # 68.148

The recognition of distinct artistic personalities in Cycladic sculpture is based upon recurring systems of proportion and details of execution. The stylization of the human body that is elegant almost to the point of mannerism is characteristic of the Bastis Master.
