These Goddesses were first carved in the Cycladic islands in the Aegean, but were exported all over the Mediterranean region as far as Turkey & upper Egypt. Like the Naqada Egyptian Goddesses above, their exact role is unknown, but they were found, sometimes many at a time, in graves all around the Mediterranean. They were originally highly painted & would have been very colourful. The Cycladic Heads - Oval Style Height 23cm (9¼")
Available in a range of colours & glaze textures.
These head shapes changed over the 2 millennia they were made, reflecting the different hair styles during that time. As each type has its own grace I have made mine available in 3 main styles.
