#cycladic art

Our Greek professor told us a kid in Athens called this Cycladic figurine "ο διπλοσουβλακοφάγος" :'D

The Women of Thera.

(as many as this app will let me post anyway). Is it really so much to ask to have every single surface of my house covered in beautiful 16th C. BCE bronze age frescoes?

A CYCLADIC MARBLE FOOTED CUP EARLY CYCLADIC II, CIRCA 2700-2200 B.C.

The “cup-bearer”

The almond-shaped head is set almost perpendicular to the cylindrical neck. There are no sexual characteristics. The left arm is bent at the elbow and the forearm brought onto the abdomen. The outstretched right arm, with the slightly flexed elbow, proffers a small beaker. The freely extended hand is an extremely rare feature in Cycladic sculpting.

Special figurine of canonical type.

EC II perod, Syros phase (2800-2300 BC).

It took me a while but here are the last pics of my trip to Greece. The good news is i'll be there again in 2 months, so i can bore you with way too many pics again afterwards 😂

These are from the National Archeological museum in Athens, that was SO HUGE we spent way too many hours in there, but contains some incredibly famous pieces that everyone has seen or heard of, like the mask of Agamemnon or the Antikythera mechanism.

Two of my favorite pieces of ancient art at the AIC.
