Kora Of Sicyon
Butades of Sicyon ( ''Boutades''), sometimes mistakenly called Dibutades, was the reputed inventor of the art of modelling clay in relief. An accident first led him to practise, in conjunction with his daughter, at Corinth. The period at which he flourished is unknown, but has been estimated at 600 BC. The story, as recorded by Pliny the Elder, is that his daughter, Kora of Sicyon, was smitten with love for a youth at Corinth where they lived. She drew the outline of his shadow on a wall, and upon this outline her father modelled a face of the youth in clay, which he baked along with the clay tiles which it was his trade to make. This model was preserved in the Nymphaeum in Corinth until Lucius Mummius sacked that city in 146 BC. Because of this occurrence, Butades began a practice that is supported by a large body of existing evidence: he began to decorate the ends or edges of rain gutter roof tiles with masks of human faces, first in low relief (protypa), then in high relief (ec ...

Koda, also known as Kora, Kaora, Korali, Korati, Kore, Mudi, or Mudikora, is an endangered Munda language of India and Bangladesh spoken by the Kora. The Kora mainly live in West Bengal, in the districts of Paschim Medinipur and Bankura, with a few in neighbouring Odisha and Jharkhand. In 2005, there were 1,300 speakers in the Rajshahi Division of Bangladesh, though many said that Bengali was their best language. Koda is closely related to the Kol language. Kim et al.
