The illustrated example is of the so-called ‘Phylakopi I or Ayia Irini type’ , which includes mainly small (H. 2.5-15 cm) and extremely abstract figurines. The head is indicated by a long trapezoidal protuberance and the arms are small stumps, while the rudimentary legs have been formed by excising a small triangular piece from the base. Virtually no anatomical details are denoted in figurines of this type, except on a few examples from Akrotiri, Thera and Ayia Irini, Kea, on which breasts appear either in relief or as small depressions.
