Statue of the kore Phrasikleia
ΝΑΜ, Γ 4889
With her right hand she draws up the side of her chiton (robe), while in her left hand holds a lotus flower in front of her breast. A wreath with lotus flowers and buds adorns her head. Phrasikleia will remain forever a girl who will not feel the joy of marriage, as she tells us in the epigram on the pedestal of her monument: “Memorial of Phrasikleia. I shall always be called maiden (kore) having received this name from the gods instead of marriage. Aristion of Paros made me”.
