jun 29, 530 BC - Peplos Kore from the Acropolis

Description:

Marble, paint
Greece
Kore= “ideal female”
Peplos= the robe she wears
Used as an offering
Missing her left arm, holding something important??
Indentation in dress insinuates stepping with left foot
Evidence showed the paint on her dress, a pattern adorned with animals was on the front of her dress, evidence of jewelry and a crown
Since the hand is missing it’s hard to differentiate between Artemis and Athena
