アナトリアン 大理石の像、Kusura型、スペインの輸出許可証付き - 10.5 cm

Anatolian marble idol, Kusura type, from the Bronze Age II (circa 2700–2300 BC).
Kusura idols, defined by Colin Renfrew and named after the site of the same name in southwestern Anatolia, have always been found in burials, indicating that they were pieces of ritual and religious significance.

The region of Anatolia, also known as Asia Minor, is a peninsula currently occupied by the Asian part of Turkey. It is bordered to the north by the Black Sea, to the east by the Taurus and Anti-Taurus mountain ranges, to the south by the Mediterranean Sea, and to the west by the Aegean Sea and the Sea of Marmara. The Bosphorus Strait and the Dardanelles Strait separate it from Europe.

In Ancient Greece, the western part of the peninsula was known as Asia, but the name was later extended to the entire continent, hence the peninsula's name Asia Minor.

Because Anatolia is a mountainous region, it has historically been a successive military stronghold for various peoples. Among others, Troy, the Hittite Empire, the kingdoms of Phrygia and Lydia, the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, the Byzantine Empire, the Seljuk Empire, and the Ottoman Empire; Greek, Armenian, Turkish, Assyrian, Arab, and Jewish peoples, among others, have also occupied the region.

Acquired from a Spanish private collection, M.M in the 70's.
