<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 440846, member: 2844&quot;]Those are three very different objects, S Wolf.</p><p>The first statuette in this thread is of a Greek Goddess karyatid, but it is by no means from the Cycladic civilisation. It is cast metal.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second one is a Cycladic copy, as you said. These were not reproduced continually throughout history. They started making these hand carved stone souvenirs by the thousands after the originals were excavated by archaeologists.</p><p>As you can see, the Cycladic style is much older and more basic than your first figurine. The original was made by a very different civilisation from your Goddess.</p><p>The Cycladic civilisation just happened to be in the same part of the world as the original of your karyatid. The same part of the world doesn&#039;t mean they are from the same civilisation.</p><p><br /></p><p>The third one, of the creepy selling story, looks recently made from some kind of plaster.</p><p>The story serves to attract interest, preferably from a first time buyer of occult objects. The price is ridiculous.</p><p>But it has nothing at all to do with either your Goddess or the Cycladic one, so you are safe.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
