Phoenix Ancient Art, co-owned by brothers Ali Aboutaam and Hicham Aboutaam, sells art from many different Eras, including the Cycladic culture. Art from this culture can be categorized by three time periods: 2800-2500 BCE; 2500-200 BCE; and 2200-2000 BCE. The art often overlaps these time periods (rather than being restricted to just one period). The images were often used in graves, suggesting that they were important to the deceased during their lives, as opposed to being made for burial. Central to Cycladic Art are best described as idols or figurines (most well-known as musicians: harp or pipe players) and gained popularity among the people of mainland Greece and Crete. Ali Aboutaam is currently selling a Cycladic Marble Plate for $12,500.
