Colossus_of_the_Naxians
The Colossus of the Naxians is a kouros statue made of Naxian marble which was about 9 metres high,[1] now located in the Museum on Delos and originally from one of the islands of the Cyclades. The colossus is an example of archaic monumental sculpture and dates to the end of the seventh century BC. The colossus is one of the largest kouros statues yet known.[2] Only the Kouros of Apollonas, which remains unfinished in the quarry at Apollonas , is larger at 10.7 m tall. The Colossus of the Naxians is now broken into many pieces.
