Item Details

Description

Eastern Greece, Rhodes, Archaic period, ca. mid-6th century BCE. A splendid pottery standing figure of a kore, a standing figure draped in garments with long hair that drapes her shoulders. Barefoot atop an integral plinth, he/she places one foot forward as both arms hang to her sides, flanking the billowing folds of her robes that cascade down his/her slender body. His/her centrally-parted coiffure frames the naturalistic visage comprised of heavy-lidded eyes, a pointed nose, and straight lips. At one point, he/she was probably brightly painted. It is not known if he/she represents a deity. Research indicates that kore were common sights, both in public and private, for the Archaic Greeks. Size: 2.9" W x 10.1" H (7.4 cm x 25.7 cm)

By the seventh century BCE, Greek art began to evolve from its embrace of the geometric style, which was favored between approximately 1050 and 700 BCE, to a desire to create more naturalistic representations of the human figure. Most famous are the freestanding sculptures of two main types, the male standing youth known as a kouros, and the draped standing female kore. The earliest examples demonstrate an Egyptian influence in both pose and proportions, but over time sculptors created even more lifelike representations. These were placed in sanctuaries as well as cemeteries and served as grave markers and dedications to the deities.

A similar piece can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art under accession number 35.11.4.
