This kore (maiden) wears a chiton (tunic) belted under the breasts and pinned at the shoulders. Over this she has a short himation (cloak), which covers part of her upper body. An additional garment is worn over her shoulders at the back.In Archaic Greek art the successful treatment of drapery was important in female statues, whereas the sculptors of male figures worked towards the ideal nude.
