Harpist of Keros Cycladic Figurine Ancient Greek Art Statue
$ 29.15
Description
KEROS HARPIST One of the very rare male Cycladic figurines. This piece, along with the Cycladic flute-player are the first depictions of musicians in the Greek world. It was found in a tomb on 1884 on Keros, a deserted island opposite Amorgos. A seated man is shown playing the harp, perhaps he was some official bard or hero as he appears to be sitting on an elaborate throne. His head, tilted up and back above the strong neck, indicates his absorption in the music. The artistic achievement is astonishing, not only the perfect carving but the way the figure is rendered in all dimensions and dominates the space. We do not know the purpose if this figurine, perhaps to entertain the deceased or to comfort him in the other world. The original, dating to the third millennium BC, is now in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens. The Cycladic culture flourished on the islands of the Aegean Sea from about 3,300 BC until 2000 BC. Cycladic sculptures are highly stylised, almost modern-looking, and work well in contemporary environments. It was made in Greece, stands 4.3 inches high and weighs approximately 400 g.

The bronze statue was stunning. I put it on the mantle where it is displayed as a true work of art. Customer service was exceptional. The item arrived perfectly packed. I was surprised at how quickly it came, especially since it was coming from overseas. I highly recommend this seller due to the high-quality craftsmanship of his products and his excellent customer service.
My favorite Ebay seller- I ordered on Sunday and had it delivered by Wednesday overseas! The bronze castings are phenomenal and authentic. Pieces will last many lifetimes. Will buy from again.
