Title: Stone Vessels of the Cyclades in the Early Bronze Age
Description: University Park, Pennsylvania, The Pennsylvania State University Press, 1996. Hardcover. Navy cloth, gilt letters on spine, baby blue & illus. dust jacket, 371 text pp. plus 114 color and BW plate pages following at rear; 112 BW figures, maps, and illus. in text. "With the exception of early Egypt and Minoan Crete, no early culture had such a vigorous stone vase-making industry as the Cyclades. Figures and vessels of stone, overwhelmingly of marble, are the most distinctive and appealing products of the Early Cycladic culture. The vessels, like the better-known figures, formed a special class of object that conformed to a strict traditional typology. Ranging from charming miniatures to works of impressive size, they often show a striking purity of form, beauty of material, and excellence in their workmanship. [This book] is the first comprehensive study of these vessels." (dj). VG .
