This wooden candle holder refers to the form of an ancient bird-shaped vessel of the Cycladic culture.
Animal-shaped vessels were widespread from the earliest periods of Aegean art.
The first examples date back to the Cycladic culture.
The tradition of giving vessels zoomorphic outlines later passed to the Minoan-Mycenaean civilisation. It shows the evolution of the skill and technique of the ancient craftsmen: the proportions are harmonious, the details refined.
Similar forms were also used in the Russian North.
