Architectural Masterpiece of the Archaic Acropolis: Detailed Analysis of the Head and Hairstyle of the "Kore 682" (The Antenor Kore)

2324

Around 520 BCE (Late Archaic period).

This image captures a detailed profile view of the upper register and head of Kore 682 (commonly attributed to the sculptor Antenor, son of Euxenidas). It is a fragment focusing on the upper portion of one of the largest and most sophisticated statues of a Kore discovered on the Acropolis (total height of the reconstructed statue is 1.82 meters). The fragment highlights the facial profile, the intricate sculptural and painted hair arrangement, the stephane, the protruding bronze meniskos, and the cascading braided locks framing the shoulder.
