Ancient Greek sculpture

The origins of greek sculpture have been ascribed the wooden cult statues that were described by Pausanias as xoana.

No such statue survives, and the descriptions of them are vague despite the fact that some were objects of veneration for hundreds of years.

The first piece of Greek statuary to be reassembled since is probably the Lefkandi Centaur (Eretria Mus.) found on Euboia.
