Mini Female Figurine Statue from the Cyclades Syros Spedos Type Greek Prehistoric

Cycladic Idol – Female Figurine (Spedos Type)

Inspired by ancient Cycladic sculpture (2600–2300 BC)
Parastone Museum Collection – Mouseion 3D

This elegant small-scale reproduction captures the essence of Cycladic art, a strikingly modern style that originated thousands of years ago in the Cyclades islands of Greece. Dating from the Early Bronze Age, this figure represents a female form—its simplicity, symmetry, and minimalism have fascinated artists and collectors for generations.

Known as a Cycladic Idol, this type of sculpture was typically carved from white marble and buried in graves as a devotional or ceremonial object. With arms crossed over the abdomen and a smooth, abstract face defined only by a sculpted nose, these figures embody a deeply stylized aesthetic. This particular reproduction is modeled after the Spedos type, the most recognizable variation named after a burial site on the island of Naxos.

While the exact meaning of these figures remains uncertain, many scholars believe they symbolize fertility, femininity, or served a ritual function related to death and rebirth. Their influence can be seen in the work of modern artists such as Picasso, Modigliani, and Henry Moore, who were captivated by the timeless elegance of Cycladic forms.
