**Originally Listed At $300**

Ancient Near East, present-day Turkey, Anatolia, ca. 2800 to 2200 BCE. A fine kilia head formed from milky-white marble. The head is defined by a tapered chin, a rounded forehead with a pinched upper periphery, and a slender nose flanked by a pair of lightly-raised eyes. Kilia are highly-stylized female figures made throughout the Mediterranean during the Chalcolithic period and Early Bronze Age. Archaeologists have interpreted these figures as female and call them "stargazers" because their heads are tilted upwards. When first carved, the faces would have exhibited painted details such as eyes; figures with raised eyes like this example, however, are quite rare. Size: 1.125" W x 0.95" H (2.9 cm x 2.4 cm); 2.2" H (5.6 cm) on included custom stand.
