Kore figurine found during one of the Acropolis excavation campaigns. The Kore is standing frontally slightly projecting her left leg. She is draped in a white chiton over which her himation is worn obliquely. A tall stephane adorns her head. The forehead is covered by black hair locks which are rendered in relief whereas the rest of her hair falls on her shoulders. The right arm is bent at the elbow beneath her bosom whereas with her left arm she holds the edge of her chiton.

Preserved are both the white slip and some of the red paint used for details.
