Lot Essay

This figure is sculptured with her arms folded at a sharp angle, angularly sloping shoulders, shallow breasts placed far apart and rounded hips. Her curved abdomen suggests that she is pregnant. For other pregnant Spedos type idols, see nos. 47-48 in P. Getz-Preziosi, Early Cycladic Art in North American Collections.
