striking change appears in Greek art of the seventh century B.C., the beginning of the Archaic period.

The abstract geometric pattern that was dominant between about 1050 and 700 B.C. is supplanted in the seventh century by a more naturalistic style reflecting significant influence from the near east and Egypt

In addition to numerous marble figurines, the Keros-Syros culture (ca. 27002400/2300 B.C.) in the Cyclades produced particularly fine marble vessels that reveal a mastery of the material and an appreciation of form.

This marble spouted bowl is distinguished by its unusually large size, the thinness of its walls, and the delicate articulation of the spout in the front and the horizontal lug in the back. It stands securely but also fits the hand perfectly for pouring water, oil, or perhaps even paint, since traces of color remain on some of the forty preserved examples.
