## Marble Islands of the Aegean

The Metropolitan Museum dates Early Cycladic culture to about 3200 to 2300 BC. The Cyclades were rich in marble, especially on Paros and Naxos.

Most sculptures were carved in marble, and the subjects are mainly female figures. The surfaces were once painted with mineral pigments.

## The Spedos Type

The Spedos type is named after a burial site on Naxos. These standing nudes have folded arms, a smooth face, and only a sculpted nose.

Spedos type figurine proportions are remarkably consistent. The Met notes that they may have been planned with a compass.

## What Did They Mean?

Many were found in graves, so they may have served in funeral ceremonies. Some decoration suggests links to motherhood and fertility.

Their exact meaning remains uncertain. A Cycladic marble idol replica like this one lets you study that mystery up close.

This early Greek female figurine also shows why modern artists admired Cycladic simplicity. Explore our [Greek and Roman Collection](https://www.museumize.com/collections/culture-greek-roman) and [Parastone Museum Replicas](https://www.museumize.com/collections/parastone-museum-replicas).
