Description
Bibliography

Upper part of a vessel for perfumed oil in the form of a Kore belonging to the so called Aphrodite-Group. It was found in 1957 at the Sanctuary of the Nymphe.

The Kore has almond-shaped eyes and her lips form the typical smile of archaic statues. Her long hair forms curls that fall onto her chest. Earrings adorn her ears and a beaded necklace with a pendant in the form of an animal head her neck. Traces of red colour are retained on her garments. A spout with wide rim is located on top of her head.
