Archaic Greek Kouros Head

A sculptural plaster head after the type of the Kroisos Kouros, reflecting the later phase of archaic Greek sculpture in the mid–6th century BC. The calm symmetry and characteristic archaic smile belong to a formative moment in Western art, where rigid convention begins to soften into a more natural and human presence.

The pronounced spiral curls across the brow give this example a more expressive character than standard academic casts, lending it a distinct sculptural quality. The surface has developed a soft, time-worn patina, with subtle tonal variation that enhances its sense of age and depth.
