Description

Kore! Meaning κόρη, “maiden” is a sculpture of female figure found in the Archaic period, always of a young age. Kouroi, are the youthful male equivalent of kore statues. Always reserved, with an archaic smile, Korai never show emotion. And unlike the naked kouroi, korai are shown wearing either thick, heavy peplos or lighter garments such as the chiton.
