Statue of Ornithe

Samos (Greece) serves as a refuge for Here; excavation finds from 1913 reveal a marble work of art created between 560 - 550 BC. The Ornithe statue is part of a votive gift crafted by the sculptor Geneleos, consisting of six figures that portray an entire family. A female figure stands in a straightforward pose, her legs together and arms at her sides. She wears a chiton with medium-length sleeves, secured by a belt, and featuring a long overfold. Tight folds of the skirt converge in the center front and back. Some of these folds on the front are pulled aside by Ornithe, who grasps them with her right hand, thus slightly pulling them to the right. Her long hair is characterized by horizontal and stronger vertical grooves into beaded tresses that terminate in triangular forms. Twenty locks of hair fall down the back while four fall down each side of the chest.
