Pelasgian Art is the art of Africa. The bocio statuette, a small substitute for a human used as a decoy to divert evil spirits, is characteristic. The Cycladic idols, so-called, are really bocio statuettes translated into stone. Nuraghic bronzes share features with the bocio, and are African. Small bulls are often found with "mother goddesses". A reminder of African bull-sports and fertility festivals.

The use of white paint on women, after initiation, is seen on Minoan representations of women, but not young girls, whereas men are painted red-brown. Minoan men wear the African codpiece, which leaves the scrotum uncovered, still worn by the Moba of West Africa. Minoan painting derives its technique and motifs from Africa. The Minoan palaces are based on Yoruba palaces.

Statues with two heads (Janus statues) found in Rome and Etruria, show the presence of Africans. So too the Etruscan impluvium.

The mask theatre of Greece and Rome, with men playing female parts, is also Pelasgian in origin.
