Kore (Greek:"girl"), a modern name for archaic statues of girls that were found in large numbers as a consecration gift on the Acropolis in Athens and other places of worship in Greece.
Also synonymous with beams, for example the Korenhalle at the Erechtheion in Athens. In contrast to the naked Kuros (Greek "young man") the Kore was depicted as a garment statue.
In this Kore statue, the artfully undulated strands of hair that fall on her shoulders and breasts attract attention, her head is decorated with a hood, round jewellery can be seen on her ears, which was presumably worn as a faience by distinguished ladies. Her particularly splendidly folded Chiton flows down her body.
