Bronze Kouros from Piraeus.
The figure is posed in the characteristic stance of Apollo with on hand extended
forward holding an offering, and the left hand holding a bow.
It is a rare bronze example of Kouros, and its presents a refined understanding
of anatomy, a smooth depiction of muscle groups, but a rigid pelvis.
Bronze, 1.95 tall, c. 530-520 BCE
it was found in a pit with a few other
later bronze statues, so this date has been disputed.
