Kore 670

Several statues, including this one, were then buried in the northern campus of the Acropolis after the battle, followed by the reconstruction of the temple by Athenian citizens.

Her expression retains an Archaic smile, but softer, with the outer corner of the lips cut into the face.

[2] Compared to other Attic korai, she is slender, and her style matches that of Chios, an indication of cultural exchange, and artists executing commissions from different parts of Greece.

[5] The kore is renowned for preserving its polychromy, maintaining some its original paint, primarily the reds, and some yellow.

[1][5] From March 2022 to September 2022, Kore 670 was loaned to the Royal Ontario Museum to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Canada–Greece relations, which began in 1942 with the government-in-exile during the Axis occupation of Greece.
