Anatolian Kilia Marble Stargazer Head - Rare Variant

Item Details

Description

Anatolia, present-day Turkey, ca. 2800 to 2200 BCE. This is a kilia head made from some smooth brown-white stone; the head is longer and narrower than many similar sculptures. Kilia are highly stylized female figures made throughout the Mediterranean during the Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age. They are characterized by bulbous heads, long necks, and flat bodies with wide, flipper-like arms. When first made, the faces would have had painted details like eyes. Archaeologists have interpreted these figures as female and call them "stargazers" because their heads are tilted upwards. Size: 0.7" W x 1.25" H (1.8 cm x 3.2 cm)
