Peplos Kore, Marble statue at Acropolis Museum, Athens, Greece
The Peplos Kore stands 120 centimeters tall, carved from Parian marble, depicting a young woman in traditional dress with traces of original paint.
The statue was discovered in three sections during 1886 excavations northwest of the Erechtheion on the Acropolis of Athens, dating from 530 BCE.
The term kore refers to statues of young women that served as grave markers or offerings during the sixth and fifth centuries BCE in ancient Greece.
The Peplos Kore resides in the Archaic Acropolis Gallery of the Acropolis Museum, where visitors can examine its details alongside similar period sculptures.
The statue contains 35 drill holes around the head, suggesting it once displayed a metal crown or helmet, possibly indicating representation of a deity.
