An Early Helladic figurine from Thebes, Boeotia1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 September 2013
Abstract
A bone figurine of a standing naked woman was found in the SE part of the Kadmeia in 1995. It lay in an EH II–III layer. The head is missing and also the feet which were made separately and inserted. The figurine is on a miniature scale and can be associated with Cycladic prototypes. Evidence for the relations between Thebes and the Cyclades during the EBA is also briefly discussed.
