Kore

photo

This marble kore is decked out in a more elaborate headdress and garment. Note the remnants of paint on this kore as well and the more elaborate folds of her garments. She seems to be wearing a chiton which is something like a peplos, and over that a diagonally draped many folded outer garment called a himation.

This kore was one of more than a dozen such statues dedicated to Athena.
