The Louros variety of Cycladic sculpture takes its name from a cemetery on Naxos where seven idols of the same type were discovered. Such schematized figures, with elongated neck, short torsos, and small projections for arms, are thought to represent females. For similar examples see nos. 84-86 in J. Thimme, Art and Culture of the Cyclades.
