Description
This head was found in Old Epidauros.
The figure of the kouros, or standing nude youth, was very recurring during the Archaic Greek period. They indicate a constant progress in sculpture which will lead to the Golden Age of Greek art and refinement with the Classical period. Kouros were usually erected in sanctuaries and in cemeteries outside city walls, serving as dedications to the gods or as grave markers.
