Three Anatolian marble idols Kusura-Beyecesultan Type, Early Bonze Age II, circa 2700-2300 B.C.5.4-7.3cm high (3)Footnotes:Provenance: with Gallery Serodine, Ascona, who stated the two larger ones were originally found together.

Thimme, Art and Culture of the Cyclades, Chicago, 1977, p.386 and 560-561, nos. 513 and 515.
