[1] This head of a Kouros was named after Peter Alexandrovich Saburov, a collector of ancient Greek sculpture and antiquities.

Men usually had long hair in 6th century Greek statues, but the beard was a common attribute in archaic sculpture.

The treatment of the moustache, separate from the beard on the cheeks and chin, is very rare for Greek sculpture and gives an exotic look to the head.

The head has been described as "nearer to a portrait than any other work surviving from Archaic Greece" (other than the Boxer Relief in Athens).

The geometric measurements using Voronoi cells and Geodesic distances at the high-resolution 3D-model show an unbalance and a slight tilting of the head indicating that it was part of an equestrian statue.
