The harpist of Keros of parian marble. Sealed in an elegant throne, holds a stringed instrument, a lute or a harp. Musicians are mainly harpists and rarely play wind instruments. Elaborate three-dimensional statuettes were carved in organised workshops equipped with bronze tools. Numerous artefacts of ritual significance (marble figurines and vessels) have been found on the island of Keros. The flutist and the harpist are thought to come from the same grave on Keros. Early Cycladic II. 2800-2900 BC.
