CAM Look | Cycladic Figure from Greece | 9/21/21

Welcome to #CAMLook, your daily dose of the Cincinnati Art Museum. Each weekday, a staff member or volunteer will be sharing an object from the permanent collection and posing questions for discussion. Please check back at 10 am every day for a new work and a new conversation.

Today, Bettye Beaumont, a museum docent, shares the museum's Cycladic Figure from ancient Greece. This CAM Look is the first in a weekly series to celebrate International Archaeology Day on October 16, 2021.
