Abstract

Grave finds from the Cycladic Islands and far beyond yield schematized stiff nudes made of marble, alabaster, bone, gold, silver and iron along with iconic and stylized diversity. Selected examples are: bone nudes from Keros – Syros; marble plastiras type from the Grotta – Pelos Culture; nudes with winged arms; and beaked like anthropomorphic birds – goddesses with pronounced vulvas. Additional discoveries are Egyptian nudes with folded arms and jeweled eyes; large cruciform deities from Cyprus; Babylonian and French violin deities plus enhanced Anatolian examples.
