New York Kouros Tom B and Dan

Key Facts Early Archaic period Sounion group of kouroi c BC 1.85m tall (6.4 ft) without plinth Kouros translates to “young man” Made from Naxian marble Idealistic rather than realistic

Significance One of the earliest examples of a kouros Showed a transition from the Geometric/Oriental period

How was it sculpted Sculptor unknown Block of Naxian marble – Outline of it likely to be drawn on it – Excess stone chipped away – Filed down to make a smooth finish Tools: – Punch – Claw – Flat Chisel – Rasp

Purpose Guessed at being a tombstone for a youth who either died young or fell in battle (kouros – young man) Not a dedication to the gods or representation Sign of respect Showing off wealth or taste if it was one of the earliest kouros’s found in Attica?

Typical of Greek kouroi? Pose – left leg forwards – arms down – staring face – straight shoulders – broad chest – clenched fists Naked Symmetrical

Typical of Greek kouroi? Upright posture Archaic Smile Perhaps less artistic than later Archaic examples of the kouros Paint traces found on hair band, eyes, mouth, hair and nipples Neck band worn instead of belt 360 degree viewing, but emphasis on the front features

Egyptian influences

Neck band worn Braided hair Unlike some Egyptian statues no supporting pillar is used No loin cloth

The Finding Found on the road that connects Athens and Cape Sounion, near Anavyssos Most likely sculpted in Attica due to location of find Housed in the New York Metropolitan Museum since 1983 Its authenticity is disputed

Thank You Any questions?
