Prehistoric Cypriot Art and Culture
Although it covers an area of only 3,570 square miles, Cyprus, situated in the northeastern corner of the Mediterranean Sea, is the third largest island in this region of the ancient world, after Sicily and Sardinia. Its unique culture dates from as early as the end of the ninth millennium B.C., when the first permanent settlers may have arrived from southern Anatolia or the Syro-Palestinian coast, bringing with them an already developed culture. However, there is evidence for the presence of seasonal hunters of pygmy elephants and pygmy hippopotami before then, ca. 10,000 B.C. The earliest Neolithic settlers had an organized society based on agriculture and animal husbandry. Several of their settlements have been excavated throughout the island, including Khirokitia and Kalavasos near the southern coast. During the latter part of the Neolithic period (ca. 8500 B.C. –ca. 3900 B.C. ), islanders began to work clay, making vessels which they baked and often decorated with abstract patterns in red on a light slip.

Marble statue of an old woman ¦ Highlights ¦ Greek and Roman Art ¦ Collection Database ¦ Works of Art ¦ The Metropolitan a detail often seen in representations of old women that hints at the liberation of the elderly from the restrictions imposed on women of childbearing years. as in many such figures, direct observation of reality lends force to deeper religious implications. the piece may be a copy of an older, hellenistic model or a creation of the roman period in a tradition that was still alive. it seems to have been deliberately damaged, probably in the late antiquity, when such a pagan image would have provoked hostility.
