This 3D-printed Museum Replica is based on a Cycladic folded-arm female figure dating to about 2700–2400 BC, produced in the Cyclades during the Early Cycladic period and associated with the Keros-Syros culture. The original reduces the human body to a highly controlled arrangement of forms: a backward-tilting head, a long nose in relief, folded arms across the abdomen, and sharply defined legs and feet. Its restrained geometry and flattened silhouette have made this type one of the most recognizable sculptural forms of prehistoric Europe.
The replica preserves the characteristic proportions and carved details of the original figure, including its simplified body, incised lines, projecting nose, and compact scale. It is based on an object type that belonged to the visual world of the prehistoric Aegean, where marble figures of this kind were produced within a maritime culture shaped by exchange, craftsmanship, and shared artistic conventions across the Cycladic islands. Today, such figures remain notable for their clarity of form and strong sculptural presence.
This replica is available in several materials, each with distinct qualities. White nylon is the most affordable option and is polished to create a smoother surface. Black nylon undergoes a post-printing treatment followed by a Color Touch finish, giving the object a stable, uniform color and improved resistance to scratching and rubbing. Bronze, brass, gold plated brass, pink gold plated brass, white rhodium plated brass, and black rhodium plated brass are produced through a casting process in which a 3D-printed wax master is used to create a plaster mould, allowing the final metal object to closely replicate the original model while giving it a refined and elegant finish.
