Caryatid

Quote

The best-known and most-copied examples are the six figures of the Caryatid porch of the Erechtheion on the Acropolis in Athens. One of these original six figures was removed by Lord Elgin in the early 19th century, an action that caused significant damage to the temple.[9][10] The figure is currently held in the British Museum in London. The Greek government does not recognise the British Museum's claim of ownership over any part of the Acropolis monuments, and the return of the Caryatid, along with other monuments commonly known as the Elgin Marbles, to Athens has been the subject of an ongoing international dispute.[11] The Acropolis Museum holds the other five figures, which are replaced onsite by replicas. The five originals that are in Athens are now being exhibited in the new Acropolis Museum, on a special balcony that allows visitors to view them from all sides. The pedestal for the caryatid removed to London remains empty, awaiting its return. From 2011 to 2015, they were cleaned by a specially constructed laser beam, which removed accumulated soot and grime without harming the marble's patina. Each caryatid was cleaned in place, with a television circuit relaying the spectacle live to museum visitors.[12]
