From the 7th century BC to the 2nd century AD, sculptors in Cyprus produced thousands of statuettes to be offered by the faithful in the island's sanctuaries, and more rarely in the necropolises. While retaining an undeniable originality, they reflect, over the centuries, the influence of the main civilizations of this region of the Mediterranean world: the Near East, Egypt and then Greece.
