Greek cops seize head of ancient kouros statue in Nemea

The head of an Ancient Kouros statue, dating to the Archaic period (6th century BC) was confiscated in 2019. A Greek man was arrested in Nemea, in Corinth, southern Greece, for illegal possession of the artifact. He was looking for buyers to sell the head for 500k euro. A kouros is a modern term given to free-standing ancient Greek sculptures that first appear in the Archaic period in Greece and represent nude male youths. In Ancient Greek kouros means "youth, boy, especially of noble rank"
