kouros
Description
This kouros was found at a sanctuary of Apollo on Mount Ptoon. Its hair and headband recall the Getty kouros. However, its body has much less definition than other kouroi. Its torso slopes gently in and out at the waist, and it has a much boxier build than the Getty kouros. Its feet are blocky and simple; they lack the naturalism found in later kouroi.
