Description

KORE - ANCIENT GREEK WOMEN SCULPTURE The word kore means maiden in Greek, and it is used to refer to a statue of a female figure. A beautiful example of such a work is the Peplos Kore from the Athenian Acropolis. Scholars have suggested that the purpose of statues such as the Peplos Kore and other korai was to serve as votive offerings, perhaps in this case to the goddess Athena. However it is also clear that the ancient Greeks delighted in creating and admiring these stylized images of beautiful maidens. So in essence, korai were meant to please both human and divine audiences.(01-087-A) Details: Condition: New, Handmade in Greece Material: Casting stone Height: 19 cm - 7.5 inches Width: 9 cm - 3.5 inches Length: 7 cm - 2.7 inches Weight: 1.5 kg ********
