It is a kore, an Archaic Greek maiden, with an elongated, frontal body resting on a rectangular base. Her face is oval, with a subtle Archaic smile, almond-shaped eyes, and long hair falling in braided locks over the shoulders, partly covered by a veil. She wears a long pleated chiton that wraps the entire body down to the feet, whose toes peek beneath the hem. With her right hand she holds against her chest what appears to be a dove, while her left hand grasps a fold of drapery. The surface is porous and weathered, with traces of red pigment on the mouth of the flask, along the dress edges, and on the base. On top of the head there is a small circular mouth shaped like a dish, the opening of the flask, slightly reddish. Frontal light emphasizes the rough textures and soft shadows of the drapery folds.","contexto":"This is a mold-made terracotta perfume vessel dated to 525–500 BCE and associated with the island of Rhodes, Greece, according to data from the Cleveland Museum of Art. Shaped as a standing kore, or maiden, it likely once held expensive perfumed oil. The figure holds a dove to her chest and gathers her drapery with the other hand, and may represent the goddess Aphrodite. Traces of red pigment remain, hinting that it was originally painted in vibrant colors. Its maker is unknown and it is part of the Greek and Roman Art collection. No further details about its specific findspot are recorded.","como_mirarla":"First follow the whole silhouette from the feet to the small mouth on top to see it is both sculpture and container. Then focus on the hands: the dove at the chest and the gathered drapery hint at a possible divine identity. Finally notice the faint red pigment to imagine its original bright appearance.","dato_curioso":"Kore-shaped vessels like this were both luxury perfume containers and votive offerings; the scented oil inside was used for personal adornment, ritual, and gifts to the gods, so the bottle itself carried sacred meaning.","preguntas":["How does knowing it is a perfume flask, not just a statue, change how you read it?","What does the dove suggest to you as a symbol of love, gentleness, or divinity?","How do you imagine its original colors, now visible only as faint reddish traces?"]},"es":{"titulo":"Frasco para perfume en forma de koré","se_ve":"En el centro, sobre un fondo degradado de gris oscuro a claro, se alza una pequeña figura femenina de pie, tallada en terracota color beige arenoso con manchas rosáceas y rojizas. Es una koré, una doncella de la Grecia arcaica, de cuerpo alargado y frontal, apoyada sobre una base rectangular. Su rostro es ovalado, con sonrisa sutil arcaica, ojos almendrados y cabello largo que cae en mechones trenzados sobre los hombros, cubierto parcialmente por un velo. Viste un largo quitón plisado que envuelve todo el cuerpo hasta los pies, cuyos dedos asoman por debajo del dobladillo. Con la mano derecha sostiene contra el pecho lo que parece ser una paloma, mientras la izquierda sujeta un pliegue de la tela. La superficie es porosa, erosionada, con restos de pigmento rojo en la boca del frasco, en los bordes del vestido y en la base. En la parte superior de la cabeza hay una pequeña boca circular en forma de plato, la abertura del frasco, levemente rojiza. La luz frontal resalta las texturas rugosas y las sombras suaves de los pliegues.","contexto":"Esta pieza es un frasco para perfume moldeado en terracota, fechado entre 525 y 500 a.C. y asociado con la isla de Rodas, en Grecia, según datos del Cleveland Museum of Art. Representa a una koré, o doncella en pie, y probablemente contenía aceite perfumado costoso. La figura sostiene una paloma contra el pecho y recoge su drapería con la otra mano; podría representar a la diosa Afrodita. Se observan trazos de pigmento rojo que sugieren que originalmente estuvo pintada con colores vivos. Es obra de autor desconocido y pertenece al departamento de Arte Griego y Romano. No se conocen más detalles sobre su hallazgo específico.","como_mirarla":"Primero recorre la silueta completa, de los pies a la boca superior para entender que es a la vez escultura y recipiente. Luego detente en las manos: la paloma pegada al pecho y el pliegue del vestido revelan su posible identidad divina. Observa al final los restos de color rojo para imaginar cómo se veía recién hecha.","dato_curioso":"Las korai como esta eran a la vez objetos de lujo y ofrendas votivas; el perfume que guardaban se usaba en rituales, en el aseo personal y como ofrenda a los dioses, por eso el envase mismo tenía forma sagrada.","preguntas":["¿Cómo cambia tu percepción al saber que no es solo una estatua sino un frasco para aceite perfumado?","¿Qué te sugiere la paloma como símbolo de ternura, amor o divinidad en esta figura?","¿Cómo imaginas los colores originales que hoy solo quedan como manchas rojizas?"]}},"etiquetas":{"en":["terracotta","sculpture","archaic greece","rhodes","kore","aphrodite","perfume vessel","mold-made","greek and roman art","dove","red pigment","votive offering"],"es":["terracota","escultura","grecia arcaica","rodas","koré","afrodita","perfume","moldeado","arte griego y romano","paloma","pigmento rojo","ofrenda votiva"]},"objetos":["figura femenina","koré","paloma","túnica plisada","velo","base rectangular","frasco"],"colores":["#D9C8B4","#B66A5A","#A89F94","#2F2F2F","#E8E6E3"],"animo":["sereno","devoto","delicado"],"epoca":"525–500 a.C.","certeza":"alta","advertencias":[],"capa":{"voces":[{"guia":"la restauradora","en":"As a restorer I focus on the material: this sandy beige terracotta is porous and eroded, with pinkish and reddish stains that are traces of red pigment.

Its elongated frontal shape is a vertical axis pointing to the sky, crowned by a small circular mouth like a crater or an eclipse. I love that it comes from Rhodes, island of the sun in archaic Greece, dated between 525 and 500 B.C. It holds a dove against its chest, perhaps Aphrodite, born from sea foam under the stars. It is both a human figure and a celestial vessel, a tiny closed universe that held perfume as if it held light.","es":"Observo esta koré como si fuera una constelación en un fondo degradado de gris oscuro a claro.

On top of her head she has a little plate with a hole, that is where they poured perfume! She is faded now but you can tell she used to be very colorful.","es":"Parece una muñequita de arena que guarda un secreto.
