A MYCENAEAN TERRACOTTA IDOL OF PHI TYPE

Phi idol with pinched head and flattened circular body with breasts in relief, on cylindrical stem with flaring base, wearing polos, decorated with dark brown painted linear and black dots decoration.

Phi figurines are also similar to the Tau and Psi, but have two main differences. First, the Phi is not depicted wearing a spreading headdress. The facial features remain the same, but the top of the head is now painted with a thick black line. Second, the arms are not rendered separate from the body. Instead, the upper part is depicted round like a disk. Thick, curving ornate lines usually decorate the chest down to the conical skirt.
