Figurine of a flautist, of Parian marble. (Shot through museum case glass)

The musician stands on the ground playing a double flute.  All known Cycladic musicians are male which may suggest the role of musician was exclusively male.

From Keros

Early Cycladic II, 2800-2300 BC

I was soooo tempted by the BM's reproduction (in bronze) of the Gayer-Anderson Egyptian cat, but the price is always out of my reach

Oh yes! That would be special.

I feel the same as you about dusting. I’m more into clearing things out these days than collecting things, with the exception of my figurines, books and bits of archaeology.
