Description

The torso and legs are the only surviving pieces of this kouros. It was found in a tomb at Marion on Cyprus and was most likely imported there from another island. Its smooth features are indicative of island preferences for the male form. Most mainland kouroi had more defined musculature. It now resides in the British Museum.
