Marble Female Figure DP260749

"Marble Female Figure," is on view at the Metropolitan Museum in Gallery 151. This revealing, yet gorgeous figure dates back to the Late Cycladic I period in 3200-2800 B.C. According to the museum's website, there are pairs of holes in the neck of this figure and the right leg have ancient repairs from which the "clamp," of metal or another material, is missing. This figurine is made of marble, it has an abnormally long neck and the tiny arms are tucked underneath the breasts. The dimensions are 8 1/2 inches tall (216 cm). This piece of art was purchased from the Rogers Fund in 1945. This image is in the Public Domain and can be seen on the museum's website.
