This figurine originates from Grave "D" of Kapros cemetery on the Greek island of Amorgos. Its distinctive features include a long neck, angular upper body, and prominent thighs, all characteristic of this type. However, the cut-out areas separating the upper arms from the torso are an unusual trait. Cycladic civilization is an Early Bronze Age culture that flourished in the Cyclades, Greece, in the Aegean Sea between approximately 3200-2000 BC. This significant Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age culture is renowned for its simple yet elegant female idols carved from the islands' pure white marble long before the Middle Bronze Age ("Minoan") culture emerged in Crete to the south. These iconic figures have been plundered from burials to feed the Cycladic antiquities market since the early 20th century. Approximately only 40% of the 1,400 figurines discovered are accounted for by origin, as looters destroyed evidence related to the remaining ones.
