The Korai, plural for Kore, were statues of young women commissioned by wealthy Athenians as dedications to the goddess Athens over a period of a hundred years. Although no Kore is like another, Kore 683 is the most different of all. Small bodied with an unusually large head, with short shins and long arms, wearing wears closed red shoes with blue shoelaces instead of the usual sandals on her feet. Like most of the korai, she holds an offering in one hand, a pigeon, and draws her dress to the side with her other hand, to step more easily.
