Part of a Kore statue found on the Acropolis. It preserves the Kore’s garment edges along with her feet and the plinth on which she stands.

The Kore wears chiton that falls over her feet without creating folds whereas along the hem retained are bands painted in red and blue. The Kore is barefooted and the her feet are rather wide whereas her toe nails are markedly outlined.
