The kouros stands tall as a statue of youthful vigor, often depicted nude and proudly facing forward. Typically installed at sacred sites like temples, palaces, or cemeteries, these statues served as a gateway to the refined and sophisticated art of Classical Greek sculpture in the 5th century. This particular fragment originates from Kassandreia (Potidaia), Chalkidiki.
