Description
Cycladic Head Figure Pendant Handcrafted in 925 Sterling Silver-Ancient Greek Art-Minimal The ancient Cycladic culture flourished in the islands of the Aegean Sea from c. 3300 to 1100 BCE. Along with the Minoan civilization & Mycenaean Greece, the Cycladic people are counted among the three major Aegean cultures. Cycladic art therefore comprises one of the three main branches of Aegean art. Named 'circle islands' or Cyclades by the ancient Greeks because they formed a circle around the sacred island of Delos, these 30 islands each have their own raw & special beauty. The Cyclades are similar, however, in their architectural, archaeological, & natural heritage, from which the Cycladic 'style' is born. Cycladic sculpture, so minimalist & simple yet so aesthetically unique & by today's standards, modern, has been said to have influenced great artists such as Picasso, Modigliani, Brancusi, & Giacometti. Adding a Cycladic aesthetic to your life can thus offer both a connection to a mystical ancient past & a cool, minimal touch of modernity. This pendant is handcrafted in Greece with extra care in 925 Sterling Silver. Its height is 4 cm, its width is 2.1 cm & it weighs approximately 15 g. This pendant is without the chain.
