Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Cycladic idol torso of a male figure. Reportedly fragment musician who played the flute ("Torso of a flute-player"). EC II 2800-2300. Goulandris Foundation Museum of Cycladic Art (Athens) NG 246.
The description on the museum's website: The standing position, the unusually long neck and the extended arms of this fragment suggest that it may have belonged to a figurine of a musician, namely a flute-player. As we know from intact examples, flute-players were always males and hold a wind instrument to the mouth. The instrument could be a double flute or a panpipe. Apart from standing flute-players, Cycladic sculptors produced also figurines of seated musicians, who played an instrument very similar to the harp - hence the name "harpists". In typological terms, all figurines of musicians belong to the Kapsala or early Spedos variety and date to the early stages of the Early Cycladic II period.Čeština: Kykladský idol, torzo mužské postavy.
