Ten Early Cycladic figurines of the Leonard Stern Collection will be shown at the Museum of Cycladic Art from November 3 to October 31, 2023, as part of an agreement by the Greek Ministry of Culture, the Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, ANA.
The agreement foresees the gradual return to Greece of 161 Early Cycladic figurines.
The exhibit at the Cycladic Museum, “Return: Cycladic treasures on a return voyage” will showcase rare pieces that add new data to Early Cycladic art, the museum said, as the show will include figurine styles that are unique. According to the Cycladic Museum, 10 marble figurines and 5 vessels of marble, steatite, or clay that are dated to the Late Neolithic and Early Cycladic II periods (nearly 5300 to 2400/2300 BC) will be on show. All figures depict women.
