Marble hut-Pyxis at The British Museum, London
myminifactory
Carved marble-footed hut pyxis boasts sides covered with horizontal incised encircling grooves. Paired pierced lug handles are also present, adding a distinctive touch. The majority of other examples made from chlorite schist stand out from this unique piece. A large hole at the bottom of the pyxis may have been deliberately created as part of a ritual 'killing' act (curator's comments, Fitton, J. L., 1999, Cycladic Art, second edition, London: BMP, pp. 72-73, fig. 77).
