The Kouros of Farangi (also called the Kouros of Faranga) is an unfinished marble statue from the 6th century BC, lying in a garden near Melanes in the Naxos interior. At approximately 5.5 metres long, it is slightly larger than the nearby Kouros of Flerio. The statue was abandoned in an early stage of carving, likely due to a crack in the marble, and remains where ancient sculptors left it over 2,500 years ago.
