Male votive statuette (kouros)

Glencairn Museum

Glencairn Museum
Bryn Athyn, United States

This statuette would have served as a votive gift to a god or goddess in a sanctuary or shrine. He carries a gift in each hand: perhaps a bird and an oval box. (David Gilman Romano and Irene Bald Romano, _Catalogue of the Classical Collections of the Glencairn Museum_, 1999, 4-5)
