The Strangford Apollo is an Ancient Greek sculpture of a nude boy, with the arms and lower legs missing.[1] It dates to around 490 BC, making it one of the latest examples of the kouros type of statue, and is made of Parian marble.[1] The sculpture has been in British Museum's collection since 1864, when the museum acquired it from the collection of Percy Smythe, 8th Viscount Strangford.[1]
