This idol belongs to the Apeiranthos type, named after a village in Naxos, Greece. It is a development of the 'spade-shaped' type of the Early Cycladic I period (3200-2800 BC), but differs in that the head and body are not completely flat, but carved in outline. Cf. C. Zervos, L'art de la Crète Néolithique et Minoenne, Paris, 1956, p. 128, no. 95 for a similar shaped idol, but found in a tomb in Porti, Crete.
