Blond Kouros's Head of the Acropolis

The so-called Blond Kouros's Head of the Acropolis is the head of a lost marble statue of a young man (Kouros or Ephebe sculpture type) of ca 480 BC, in the Acropolis Museum in Athens, Greece.

[1] The head and part of the pelvis were found in 1923 northeast of the museum site on the Acropolis of Athens.

It belongs to the late archaic or early classical period (Severe style).

This sculpture could have been created by one of the teachers of Phidias, Hegias of Athens or Ageladas of Argos.
