Louros-type Cycladic head
Extremely schematic, this head consists of a simple triangular outline, slightly concave, without a nose, polished, with a rounded chin. The neck is slightly flared. Discovered in 1904 by
C. Stéphanos on the island of Naxos, these idols are distinguished by their absence of facial features in relief.
Jean Roudillon used this Cycladic head to illustrate his business cards.
Marble, remains of micro-deposits, cleaned.
Cyclades, Late Early Cycladic II, circa 2800-2700 B.C.
H . 5.3 cm
