Cyclades (Women)

The majority of Cycladic marble vessels and sculptures were produced during the Grotta-Pelos and Keros-Syros periods. Early Cycladic sculpture comprises predominantly female figures that range from simple modification of the stone to developed representations of the human form, some with natural proportions and some more idealized.

Illustrated by British artist, Luke Edward Hall, our Cyclades Slipper features two of the most iconic sculptures on show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, intricately embroidered on a black Sea Island cotton-velvet slipper, with a black grosgrain trim.
