The female idols of the Cyclades Islands, also known as "Cycladic idols," are a series of marble sculptures made on the Cyclades Islands in the Aegean Sea during the early Bronze Age from 3000 BC to 2000 BC. Known for its simple geometric shapes and highly abstract style, it is typically depicted as a standing female figure with feet together, arms crossed in front of the chest, an oval shaped head, simplified facial details, and usually only the nose protruding. Collected in museums around the world, including the Louvre in Paris, they are an important part of ancient art and cultural heritage, as well as important physical evidence for studying ancient Aegean civilization.
