Peplos, Kore

What: Peplos Kore By a unknown Archaic sculptor
From the Acropolis, Athens, Greece
ca. 530 BCE Marble, 4' high
A stylistic "sister" to the Anavysos kouros. Unlike men, women are always clothed in Archaic statuary. This kore is a votive statue of a goddess wearing four garments. She held her identifying attribute in her missing left hand.
