Idole
School : Grèce
Description
Marbre blanc à gros grains, rosé dans la masse ; Même silhouette que l'inventaire DG 76-636. Aucun décor. Deux trous de réparation encadrent la cassure du cou (comme, par exemple, sur une figurine de Kimôlos, Zervos, 'L'art des Cyclades', fig. 56 b), qui est donc antique. Un classement d'ensemble de ces idoles cycladiques a été proposé par C. Renfrew (Journal of Archéology 73, 1969). Cette pièce se rattache aux types schématiques, qu'il date de la 1ère moitié du IIIe millénaire, et qu'il regroupe dans une 'culture Grotta-Pélos', du nom de deux cimetières, le premier de Naxos, le second de Mélos. (Notice extraite de l'ouvrage 'musée des beaux-arts de Dijon : Donation Granville : les objets', Ville de Dijon, 1976, publié sous la direction de Claude Rolley)
