Oval Cycladic Marble Head Sculpture 13cm | Handmade in Naxos
Description
Oval Cycladic Marble Head Sculpture
Handcrafted locally in Naxos from authentic Naxian marble, this elegant sculpture draws inspiration from the timeless simplicity of Cycladic art that flourished in the Greek islands more than 5,000 years ago.
Cycladic sculptures, created during the Early Bronze Age in the islands of the Aegean Sea, are among the earliest expressions of minimalist artistic form. Their abstract faces, harmonious proportions, and refined geometry have fascinated historians, collectors, and modern artists alike. The simplicity of their design continues to influence contemporary sculpture and interior aesthetics.
This contemporary interpretation focuses on the iconic Cycladic face. The elongated oval shape, pronounced central nose ridge, and smooth marble surface create a calm and balanced presence. The polished finish reveals the luminous crystalline structure that makes Naxos marble one of the most admired marbles of the ancient Greek world.
Carefully carved by a local artisan in Naxos, the sculpture stands on a simple geometric base that enhances its sculptural form while preserving the minimalist aesthetic characteristic of Cycladic art.
The result is a refined decorative object that connects ancient Greek artistic heritage with modern design sensibility. Its sculptural presence makes it a striking decorative piece and a meaningful artistic souvenir from the island of Naxos.
Available online at Tereza of Naxos and in person at Tereza’s Greek Concept Store in Naxos Town, where visitors can discover a curated collection of Greek art, handmade jewelry, Cycladic inspired design objects, and authentic souvenirs crafted in Greece.
