Colossus of the Naxians, Ancient marble statue in Delos, Greece.
The Colossus reaches a height of nine meters and consists of multiple sections crafted from pure Naxian marble extracted from Cycladic quarries.
Created in the seventh century BC, the statue stood as a dedication to Apollo until it fragmented, with parts now displayed in the Delos Museum.
The statue represents early Greek sculptural techniques through its proportions, stance, and detailed surface work visible in remaining fragments.
Visitors can examine the statue fragments at the Archaeological Museum of Delos, accessible by boat from Mykonos between March and October.
The statue's left foot, measuring 57 centimeters in length, resides separately at the British Museum in London as part of their permanent collection.
