Kandila Sculptor B carved Cycladic marble kandiles sometime in the period between 3000 and 2800 B.C. Like all artists at this early period, his real name is unknown, and he is identified only by the style of his work. Scholars have assigned over forty vessels to him. A broad mouth, tall body, low pedestal, broad shoulder, a sunken channel around the neck, a slightly thickened mouth rim, and short lugs distinguish his kandiles. Kandila Sculptor B also thoroughly hollowed out the pedestal and body of his vessels.
