Kouroi of Flerio

The Kouros of Flerio is 4.7 metre long statue (Kouros) of white Naxian marble, located in a village garden in Melanes [de], a small village on Naxos, one of the Cycladic islands, in Greece.

[1] In most cases, kouros statues are depictions of naked male youths with their arms at their sides.

The feet are entirely missing and it is assumed that they have broken off and that as a result the statue was abandoned in transit.

This statue is also unfinished and its legs are also broken off, probably as a result of being dropped at the quarry during transport, in the spot where it still remains.

The roughly worked feet of the figure lie nearby, mounted on a much more recent concrete foundation.
