Reproduction of a sculpture of Apollo Strangford. The Apollo Strangford or kouros of Anafi is a kouros type sculpture dating from 500 BC. – It was sculpted in the Cyclades area of Ancient Greece in 490 BC. It is now in the British Museum in London.

Kouros in Greek simply means ‘youth’. It is a term used to describe a type of statue of a male figure produced in marble during the Archaic period of Greek art.
