Statue of a kouros, Parian marble, found in Anavyssos, Attica. It had been stolen and taken to France from where it was returned in 1937. The body is powerful and articulate, with emphasized musculature. The statue was funerary and stood on the grave of Kroisos, as is indicated by the epigram on the base: 'Stop and mourn at the grave of dead Kroisos, whom the raging Ares destroyed when he fought among the defenders', about 530 B.C.
