Koré from Acropolis 6th century BCE (Acropolis Museum, Athens)
This magnificent representation of a young woman, or koré, is one of the most worked and decorated sculptures of ancient Greece. Created between 520 and 510 BC, this koré (called Koré 670) differs from the other sculptures of the Acropolis of Athens by the finesse of its execution and its polychromy. It preserves traces of original pigments in many places, giving us the real impression what the now-white-marble statues looked like in Antiquity.
