(Staatliche Museen, Berlin)
In Attica, an early survivor is the so-called Berlin Kore. She is
notable for her frontal stance, the large features of her face, her big feet
and hands, the pomegranate she holds, the simple lines of her garments, and her
elaborate jewelry - a bracelet, a necklace, and earrings. She wears a tasseled
mantle slung symmetrically over her shoulders, the chiton, and a painted
headdress (a polos).
