Marble statue of Chares, ruler of Teichioussa. East Greek, ca. 560 BCE. H: 149cm. Inv. GR 1859,1226.5. - The Greek inscription on the right side of the chair addresses the viewer in the first person: the statue tells us 'I am Chares, son of Kleisias, ruler of Teichioussa, the statue belongs to Apollo'. He wears a sleeved chiton (tunic) over which is draped an himation (cloak). The pleats of the garments are rendered in a series of simple, vertical and diagonal lines, and others lie in broad, flat layers over his legs. An appealing feature is the way in which the large toes follow on from the vertical pleats of the chiton around the feet. The whole figure was painted, and traces of patterns on the drapery and the cushion remain.
