The islands located to the southeast of the Aegean, named Cyclades, were hosts different cultures during the Early Bronze (3.200 BC to 2.000 BC). Between 2700-2300 BC, a culture called Keros-Siros produced innumerable specimens of figurines stylistically patterned, known as canonical type or folded arms. In spite of the strong maintenance of traditional elements in the production of these pieces, the existence of stylistic variations is not uncommon. This article reviews and seeks to identify the main stylistic features as well as the variations in the figurines produced by the Keros-Siros culture.
