Kore

1. Hälfte 5. Jh. v. Chr.

Figurine of a standing, draped female figure of the Greek kore type. Mold-made, flat, with plain back side. Head made from an old mold, with facial features very worn. She wears a short-sleeved chiton and a himation, with folds hardly visible. The right arm is bent up to hold something in the right hand. The left arm is stretched along the side of the body. With the left hand, now missing, she held the drapery. The feet are resting on a semi-circular plinth. No traces of painted decoration.
