ARCHAIC SCULPTURE

Berlin Kore
from Keratea, Attica
Height 6 feet 3 inches
c. 570-560 BCE
marble
(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).
