 However, as G. M. A. Richter has pointed out, rarely are the individual korai accompanied by the appropriate attributes and objects that cult statues usually display, such as Athena's "aegis" on her statue in the Parthenon.That being said, Nikandre's statue does have small holes in the center of its hands.It is possible that the sculptor could have made these holes to attach objects associated with Artemis, such as a bow, to the statue's hands.
