The iconic Peplos Kore stands out among the Korai statues of the Acropolis. The Korai were expensive statues of young women that were gifts to the goddess Athena from wealthy Athenian families, aiming to secure her goodwill or show their gratitude for a success attributed to the goddess' intervention. They would stand on tall bases in the open air of the sanctuary of the Acropolis from the early decades of the 6th century. The Peplos Kore took her name from the robe she wears, the peplos. Her robe was richly decorated with animals, birds and horse riders, and floral and geometric motifs. All were painted in vivid colors, the traces of which remain visible to the naked eye today
