After our Friday workshop on Early Cycladic figurines, Gaby Hick writes about the workshop, discusses the different ideas proposed about the figurines’ function and revisits some of the questions raised in the workshop by her fellow students. Gaby also offers her personal view on the figurines, their possible meanings in the Early Cycladic period and their appeal to our modern aesthetics.
