Statue "Priestess of Thera"
€40.00
The magnificent archaic kore (maiden) from Thera, crafted from white Naxian marble, is an impressive sculpture from the archaic period. Likely dedicated as a votive offering or funerary monument by an aristocrat of the time, the “Kore of Thera” embodies the archetypal beauty of the era. It also highlights the economic prosperity of Theran aristocracy and their close ties with the Cycladic artistic scene and ruling classes.
