Kouros (statue; Unknown Greek (Greek Artist); about 530 BCE or modern forger...; J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Villa (Malibu, Los Angeles...; 85.AA.40)

Note: The statue represents a standing nude youth. His left leg is advanced and both feet are firmly planted on an oval plinth. The figure's arms rest at his sides; his clenched hands, thumbs forward, are attached to his thighs. The braided hair, caught by an undulating flat fillet surrounding the top of the head, falls in a bell-shaped mass behind the neck and below the shoulders; each lock terminates in a small triangle, point down. Faint incisions outline the irises of the eyes. The sculpture is complete but for missing fragments at the left shin, the right leg, the left inner forearm, a knuckle on the right hand, and the extremities of the nose and penis. the surface is slightly weathered; no traces of color remain.
