Kouros from Actium

Kouros from Actium

kouros

This kouros was originally from Actium. The statue is missing its heads, its lower legs, and its left forearm. Straight lines at ninety degree angles delineate the abdomen muscles on the torso, oddly juxtaposed with the delicately modeled pectorals and collarbone above. It resembles other kouroi from Naxos and so has been attributed to a workshop on that island.
