Kore figurine found during one of the Acropolis excavation campaigns. The Kore stands frontally slightly projecting her left leg. She is draped in red chiton over which she wears a white himation. A tall stephane adorns her head possibly coupled with a garment covering her head. Her hair around the forehead forms locks rendered in relief. The Kore’s right arm is bent at the elbow beneath her bosom and with her left arm she holds the edge of her chiton.

White slip, as well as red and blue paint are preserved.
