Description
Bibliography

Scent-vessel in the shape of a Kore figurine found in 1957 at the Sanctuary of the Nymphe and restored.

The Kore wears red chiton with long sleeves and himation also red, which passes obliquely over the chiton. In the right hand she holds a pigeon and with her left pulls her garment aside to facilitate her step. On the front her long hair forms long locks which fall over her bosom.

This ceramic Kore belongs to the so-called Aphrodite-Group plastic vases.
