\u03a4he Kore of Thera is a work of unique artistic value presented to the Athenian audience for the first time.<\/p>\n

She represents a Kore of the 6th century BC, almost 2.5 m tall, depicted in a full-length garment and with her right hand resting on her chest. The figure, almost untouched by time, leaves open the interpretation of its use.<\/p>\n

The sculpture was discovered during a rescue excavation in the cemetery of the ancient city of Thera by the archaeologist Charalambos Sigalas. Made of Naxian marble, it was possibly intended to be a grave marker on the tomb of an eminent Theran woman. However, as the sculpture was not completed, probably due to an accident, during which her right hand was broken, it was buried at the place where it was to be erected.<\/p>\n

According to another interpretation, the statue could have been intended for a sanctuary in the city\u2019s entrance.<\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n
