Item Details
Description
Circa: 5th Century B.C. Ex-International Museum. H: 16.5" by W; 9.5". Kouros (youth) sculptures were abundantly produced during the Archaic era (700-480 BCE), continuing a long line of small votive statues made of bronze. Around 600 BCE the first monumental figure sculptures appear in Greece and they depict youths, almost always standing in the nude, and were either votive or commemorative in nature. This stunning master piece of unknown skillful sculpture of bronze bust of Kouros, life-size and it belongs to a life size body that has gone missing to antiquities, the way the head was cut off tells a fascinating story of how valuable bronze was, very similar to a life-size bronze that was found in 1959 at Piresus, the port of Athens. It is the earliest large hollow cast bronze figure which has survived from the Greek world and belonged to a period when the technique had not long been discovered.
