Do a Google Image Search on the word "kouros", and see. That is an archaic period kouros.

The statue doesn't look Persian. It appears to be Etruscan, or in a similar style. Here's the Etruscan Aplu / Apollo (Apollo being one of those non-Greek deities which was adopted by the Greeks). Even the hairstyle is the same. :')
Apollo of Veii
