This Cycladic figurine of a harp player, dating from around 2700–2300 BCE, is a remarkable example of early Aegean art.

Carved from a single block of solid marble, the figure was meticulously shaped and smoothed using pumice stones and emery, demonstrating the advanced sculptural techniques of the Cycladic people.

The statuette represents a male musician holding and playing a harp, capturing both a moment of musical performance and the cultural significance of music in Cycladic society. Its simplified yet elegant form, with smooth surfaces and subtle geometric contours, reflects the characteristic aesthetic of Cycladic figurines, emphasizing abstract beauty and harmony.

Such artifacts not only provide insight into the daily and ritual life of the Cycladic islands but also stand as enduring symbols of prehistoric artistic achievement in the Aegean world.
