An ancient Greek statue made of gold and ivory. It is a compound word of the Greek words chrysos (gold) and elephantinos (made of ivory). Technically, it is made by assembling a wooden frame, covering the naked body with ivory on the surface, and covering the clothing, hair, and other parts with thin gold sheets. Famous examples include the statue of Zeus at Olympia by Phidias, the main statue of the Parthenon, Athena Parthenos, and the statue of the goddess Hera of Argos by Polykleitos.
