Description
This fragmentary imitation kouros, originally discovered by Jeffrey Spier in 1990, was once thought to have been carved by the same artist as the Getty kouros. A known fake, it was used as evidence to also prove the Getty kouros as a forgery. However, analysis of both kouroi have shown that the two objects were carved by different hands with different techniques.
