The Korai, marble statues of young girls, were the tributes of wealthy Athenians to the sanctuary of the goddess Athena on the Acropolis. One of the most charming Korai, the Chios Kore, takes her name from her association with an inscribed column signed by an artist from the island of Chios. Her impressively decorated clothes and jewelry also distinguish her: rosettes, floral designs, spirals and meanders in white, blue and red once composed intricate patterns on her clothes and reflect the nature of the real fabrics of the period
